Katherine E. Bishop PhD is Assistant Professor at Miyazaki International College. David Higgins PhD teaches English at Inver Hills College in Minnesota. Jerry Maatta PhD is Associate Professor (Docent) at the Department of Literature, Uppsala University, Sweden“Science fiction teaches us to ‘be-with others better.’ This is the core argument of <i>Plants in Science Fiction</i>, captured in one of its chapters and suffused throughout. Readers will come away with a profound and challenging understanding of what it means to be human, as well as a deep appreciation for the critical function of science fiction in a threatened world.”<br /><br />

“<i>Plants in Science Fiction</i> demonstrates that science fiction and ecocriticism have much to say to each other. By considering ‘speculative vegetation,’ of course, we learn much about our own lives in the present moment on Earth.’<br />
