https://www.theguardian.com/books/2026/aug/16/it-is-not-only-a-future-certainty-the-disaster-is-already-here-why-we-need-climate-fiction. The problem is, we are faced not just with #climatecrisis, but with #Polycrisis, including, e.g., #resource #depletion, various forms of #pollution, #biodiversity #loss & #overpopulation, as well as the threat of #armed #conflicts. The grotesque #inequality of the #capitalist #system makes it completely #unsustainable, as does its #ecological #parasitism. Failing any successful efforts to change it, it will #collapse. How do you represent THAT in #fiction?

Parasitoid (Parasitology 🧬)
A parasitoid is an organism that lives in close association with its host at the host's expense, eventually resulting in the death of the host. Parasitoidism is one of six major evolutionary strategies within parasitism, distinguished by the fatal prognosis for the host, which makes the strategy close to predation. Among parasitoids, strategies range from living...
