Description
In The End of the Anthropocene, Michael J. Gormley examines literary imaginations of the anthropocene's end and the future of the astropocene. Gormley analyzes literary images of human tracks on Earth, the Moon, and Mars to characterize the late-stage anthropocene and to explore humanity's role in the universal ecosystem. The End of the Anthropocene uses a predictive and paradigmatic model of ecocriticism, examining science fiction works as interplanetary nature narratives.
About the Author

Reviews
In this visionary book, Michael J. Gormley tracks the anthropocene-a daunting task, through swampy terrain. Weaving physics and ecology into sustained readings of fiction, The End of the Anthropocene invites readers into an expansive space-time that includes and exceeds planet Earth.
