The stories collected in Love in the Anthropocene present a series of possible futures, all of which figure an image of “nature” that is radically transformed due to anthropogenic climate change.

So too, however, Jamieson and Nadzam are careful to attend to the affective qualities of life after environmental collapse familial “love” as we see in “Fly-Fishing,” or forms of human and nonhuman intimacy as we see in “Zoo” or “Holiday.” Why take such a perspective? For this paper, you are to consider “love in the Anthropocene” in any form you choose and in any of the five stories.

You may also want to consider Ashley Dawson’s argument here regarding the way(s) in which human beings are hardwired for collectivism and for helping one another and not, as many detractors would argue, for greed and selfishness.
