- W87604598 abstract "Technology, the environment, and the young adult figure often exist in an uneasy yet inextricable relationship in many young adult fictions dealing with dystopian futures. Nature and the artificial are frequently constructed as binaries that the young person must negotiate or resist in order to survive and preserve the future. Simultaneously, some texts also employ hybridizations of the young subject and technology, and of the natural world and technology, as part of this battle. In environmental dystopias, technology can function as both the saviour of earth (merging with or replacing the natural world to preserve what remains and avoid further degradation) and, more commonly, destroyer of the earth (see for example Applebaum 2010). Like the environment, the young body in these narratives is particularly vulnerable to this salvation or destruction through technology as the body is ‘enhanced’. This article will address how Monica Hughes’ Invitation to the Game (1990) and M.T. Anderson’s Feed (2002) both construct dystopian futures from this nexus between the natural, the artificial, and the young person, towards visions of the young person (and the environment around them) as both beneficiary of advancement/enhancement and victim. Applebaum (25) draws attention to the metaphors often drawn between the young person and nature in science fiction for young readers, explaining that these associations “can also offer potential insights with regard to environmental ethics and the lingering myth of the innocent child”. The fragility of the young body becomes a powerful metonym for the fragility and innocence of the environment as technological substitutes erode and usurp nature in the world of the text (see Stephens 2010 and Curry 2013). As Curry argues, “[t]he degraded post-natural landscapes […] are occupied by advanced and abject incarnations of the posthuman being on whose bodies are written the effects of environmental toxicity and an ethos of unlimited human progress” (45). The young bodies in Hughes’ and Anderson’s texts are thus intensive sites where the consequences of the loss of the natural environment can be brought into even sharper focus." @default.
