THE GREAT SHIFT

This book engages with that narrative space, offering readers a comprehensive exploration of the key concepts, authors, and texts that define the genre. Drawing on a range of literary works-from the dystopian vision of Margaret Atwoods Oryx and Crake to the philosophical insights of Timothy Mortons Dark Ecology-this volume captures the evolution and diversity of climate fiction. It explores how literature can act as both a mirror and a guide, reflecting our anxieties about environmental degradation while also offering imaginative frameworks for resilience, adaptation, and hope.
