This volume explores a range of prescient and thoughtful stories from SF's classic period, from accounts of exhausted resurces and ecocatastrophe to pertinent warnings of ecosystems thrown off balance and puzzles and adaptation and responsibility as humanity ventures into the new environments of the future.
Featuring stories crucial to the evolution of eco-science fiction from Philip K. Dick, Margaret St Clair, J.D. Beresford and more, this timely collection is a trive of essential reading.
