Written By Lillian Craton

Theo Mutter      

My research explores the way the genre of dystopian fiction represents our struggle to protect the environment. This project outlines the qualities of the Eco-Dystopian sub-genre and the many types of texts that make it up. This research poster defines eco-dystopian fiction, including the five main types of eco-dystopian fiction and examples of each. It will also analyze each example and explain how it fits into the sub-genre, and will consider reasons behind the growing popularity of this type of writing.
