By emphasising the importance of fostering and recognizing our species’ symbiotic relationship with its natural world through practices of daily life, the Anthroposcenic landscapes of Ursula K. Intricate portrayals of humanity’s interdependence within its planetary environment-and illustrations of the damage that our daily lives inflict upon the natural world-have long been apparent in the Science Fiction genre.

In the Anthropocene epoch, the utopian prospect which has structured civilizational development throughout recorded history is extinguished almost entirely.
