"This book offers transdisciplinary critical analyses of select contemporary manifestations of ecotopianism, asking in particular: whither the other-than-human? To what extent do these visions and strivings for ecologically sustainable futures actively foreground the needs and wellbeing of our terrestrial kin rather than consign them to a mute backdrop overshadowed by a predominantly human drama? The author variedly draws on allied disciplines at the intersections of the (critical) environmental humanities and social sciences, including but not limited to normative environmental ethics, literary ecocriticism, critical-posthuman theories, and decolonial political ecology. After all, the complex task of building better worlds is an inherently collective endeavour that requires contributions and insights from multiple lenses and positionalities. "--
