Ep. 2. Ruthanna Emrys: Lovecraftian Novels, Climate Change, and Challenging Bias


Listen Later

In the latest episode of Futureverse, hosts Molly and Ramanan interview Ruthanna Emrys, an acclaimed author known for her thought-provoking Lovecraftian novels.

We were so excited to talk to Emrys for our second episode. Her unique perspective about the future, the importance of parenthood and children, and how social justice intersects with climate change is incredibly enlightening and refreshing. Find more of her work here.

Like in all of her books, her latest novel A Half-Built Garden challenges inherent biases and explores themes of empathy, humanity, chosen family, and otherness in the context of climate change. During our conversation, Ruthanna emphasizes the importance of adapting to new problems and the idea that there is no utopian point where everything is solved.
