Writer, director, artist and activist Dekker Dreyer – who claims on his website to have coined the term Ecopunk for his novel The Tea Goddess – traces the genre's roots to works such as John Wyndham's The Day of the Triffids . It is a post-apocalyptic novel, published in 1951, which talks about a plague, a worldwide blindness that leads to the development of an aggressive species of plants. In this work the author focuses on survival on the part of the survivors, who cannot live on canned food found in London shops or use plows found in landfills, but will have to learn to build them themselves.
There is therefore an apocalyptic Phone Number Data future that forces the survivors into direct contact with nature. A second work cited by Dreyer is one of Harry Harrison's most famous novels, Make Room! Make Room! (Largo! Largo!), published in 1966. The story is set in 1999 and shows a planet that has reached 7 billion people, overcrowded and lacking in resources. One of the social themes of the novel is birth control and sustainable development. The common points of these two novels are therefore a future that forces men to deal with the environment and draw nourishment from it in a conscious way.
Science fiction, therefore, like any subgenre of the "punk" genre, but with a sort of moral. A modern ecopunk David Mitchell's novel, Cloud Atlas , contains a story that has an ecopunk flavor, that of Zachry, the last of the sextet. We are in a post-apocalyptic future and the Valligeris live in close contact with nature, in an obligatory return to the past. There is no more technology, except that of the Prescenti. The case of The Road by Cormac McCarthy is different, another post-apocalyptic story, in which however the environment seems to die every day together with the last survivors.
