Utopias for a Dying World: Contemporary German Science Fiction's- Plea for a New Ecological Awareness

The ecosystems upon which human life depends for its existence are rapidly collapsing. This book confronts that frightening realization and explores the philosophical basis for a new ecological awareness (in German the Bewußtseinswandel) which could prevent modern technological civilization from destroying itself and the world. Contemporary works of German science fiction, from both the West and the former GDR, are examined for their ability to help initiate this lifesaving new perspective.

Have you ever wondered what it might be like for an astronaut who's getting older and beginning to realize that he's running out of time to get assigned to one last mission in space? Have you ever known somebody who tries so hard to make ends meet, but who just seems to have all the bad luck? This is the story of a few months in the lives of an astronaut and a young woman when everything changes for them. It's also about the strange coin from outer space that just might hold the key to happiness.
