The anthropocene seeks to explore the phenomenon of the “human era” and how it has manifested in different ways. How does the presence of capitalism and class in Parable of the Sower and other novels present the reality of the anthropocene?

    Good start. I would think the Clausen piece might help here, since he's quite invested in OBs anarchist leftism. I do wonder whether there is work out there that critiques the class consciousness of OBs work: I'm not aware of such, but I'd be curious to hunt for it.
