Professor Matthias Thaler discusses the role of literature, particularly science fiction and climate fiction, in fostering political imagination and action during the Anthropocene. He examines the contested nature of the 'Anthropocene' term and the critical need to distinguish between useful and dangerous forms of utopian thinking. Thaler argues that speculative fiction can illuminate new ways of perceiving the world and acting together, serving as a powerful, indirect influence on political engagement with climate and biodiversity crises.
