Biopunk Worlds of Paolo Bacigalupi

by Aleksandra Mochocka

Focused on selected texts by Paolo Bacigalupi, this book explores science fiction as a platform for activist interventions. It discusses genealogical debates, genre conventions of cyberpunk and biopunk, cognitive estrangement, metaphoric strategies and metonymic tactics, and analyses Bacigalupi's texts in the context of ecocriticism.
