Challenging Anthropocentrism in Eco-Science Fiction Novels 1st Edition

Challenging Anthropocentrism in Eco-Science Fiction Novels (1st Edition) by Fatma Gamze Erkan offers a compelling re-evaluation of how contemporary speculative literature reframes the human–nonhuman divide. This concise, thought-provoking study grabs attention by arguing that eco-science fiction does more than imagine futures — it actively contests the human-centered assumptions that shape environmental thought and policy.

Through clear, rigorous analysis, Erkan maps the narrative strategies and theoretical tools that authors use to decenter humanity: from altered perspectives and multispecies subjectivities to ecological systems thinking. Readers will find lucid explanations of key concepts in ecocriticism and literary theory, paired with persuasive close readings that reveal how fiction can shift ethical imaginaries about climate, biodiversity, and sustainability.

Ideal for scholars, graduate students, librarians, and environmentally engaged readers across the UK, US, Europe, and beyond, this 1st Edition is both an academic resource and an accessible gateway into eco-literary debates. It strengthens classroom syllabi, informs research in environmental humanities, and sparks enriching discussions in book clubs and policy circles.

If you’re seeking a rigorous yet readable guide to how science fiction can help us reimagine our place on the planet, Fatma Gamze Erkan’s work is essential. Add this title to your collection to deepen your understanding of anthropocentrism, broaden your perspective on ecological storytelling, and join a growing global conversation about literature’s role in shaping a sustainable future.
