This book offers an overview on the growing field of nonhuman
studies in relation to Anglophone novels. It illuminates the
variety of nonhuman actors that take centre stage in the
twenty-first-century novel and the formal changes that the
Anthropocene, the digital turn, the animal rights movement, and
research into plant consciousness have brought to the novel as a
form. The book is divided into four sections, each focusing on a
different aspect of twenty-first-century literature that engages
with the nonhuman. The collection investigates how the
environmental changes and the increasing use of AI technologies
have fostered the flourishing of genres like the New Weird, Climate
Fiction, and speculative fiction, how it makes us embrace new
perceptions of life in relation to genetic engineering, and how it
forces us to engage with newly emerging political contexts.
