520 Terraforming is the process of making other worlds
habitable for human life. Its counterpart on Earth -
geoengineering - is receiving serious consideration as a
way to address climate change. Contemporary environmental
awareness and our understanding of climate change is
influenced by science fiction, and terraforming in
particular has offered scientists, philosophers, and
others a motif for thinking in complex ways about our
impact on planetary environments. This book asks how
science fiction has imagined how we shape both our world
and other planets and how stories of terraforming reflect
on science, society and environmentalism. It traces the
growth of the motif of terraforming in science fiction
from H.G. Wells's The War of the Worlds (1898) to James
Cameron's blockbuster Avatar (2009), in stories by such
writers as Olaf Stapledon, Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein,
Arthur C. Clarke, Frank Herbert, Ursula K. Le Guin, Ernest
Callenbach, Pamela Sargent, Frederick Turner and Kim
Stanley Robinson. It argues for terraforming as a nexus
for environmental philosophy, the pastoral, ecology, the
Gaia hypothesis, and the politics of colonisation and
habitation. Amidst contemporary anxieties about climate
change, terraforming offers an important vantage from
which to consider the ways humankind shapes and is shaped
by their world.
