These dystopian dramas envision and interrogate scenes of extremity on the planet and within the social order. They depict a world that is inundated; a world deprived of water; a world that feeds on scraps, that runs on vestiges; a world that is devoid of any natural habitat; and foresee the furthermost assault of authoritarianism. Scattered among the scenarios are acts of radical selfishness. One text invents a stratagem that depends on radical love.
