Plants have played key roles in science fiction novels, graphic
novels and film. John Wyndham's triffids, Algernon Blackwood's
willows and Han Kang's sprouting woman are just a few examples.
Plants surround us, sustain us, pique our imaginations and inhabit
our metaphors - but in many ways they remain opaque. The scope of
their alienation is as broad as their biodiversity. And yet,
literary reflections of plant-life are driven, as are many threads
of science fictional inquiry, by the concerns of today. Plants in
Science Fiction is the first-ever collected volume on plants in
science fiction, and its original essays argue that plant-life in
SF is transforming our attitudes toward morality, politics,
economics and cultural life at large - questioning and shifting our
understandings of institutions, nations, borders and boundaries;
erecting and dismantling new visions of utopian and dystopian
futures.
