{"product_id":"ethics-for-the-future","title":"Ethics for the Future: Perspectives from 21st Century Fiction","description":"Which of the possible futures might be a good future, and how do we know? Stephanie Bender looks at contemporary films and novels to address major ethical challenges of the future: the ecological catastrophe, digitalisation and biotechnology. She proposes that fiction and its modes of aesthetic simulation and emotional engagement offer a different way of knowing and judging possible futures. From a critical posthumanist angle, she discusses works ranging from Don DeLillo's \u003ci\u003eZero K\u003c\/i\u003e (2017) and Margaret Atwood's \u003ci\u003eMaddAddam Trilogy\u003c\/i\u003e (2003-2013) to Kim Stanley Robinson's \u003ci\u003eNew York 2140\u003c\/i\u003e as well as \u003ci\u003eAvatar\u003c\/i\u003e (2009), and \u003ci\u003eBlade Runner 2049\u003c\/i\u003e (2017) among many others.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46623186845906,"sku":"9783837668209","price":78.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_bf17875a-c846-4b1f-a83e-7adc42abb1b9.jpg?v=1763635080","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/products\/ethics-for-the-future","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
