The Rhetoric of Dystopia develops an idea of “emergent metalepsis†that describes the uncanny moments where fictive texts anticipate material events. Christopher Carter situates this rhetoric within debates about the Anthropocene, highlighting the irony whereby our most trenchant self-analyses become mass commodities.
