ECOLOGICAL DANGER’S OUTCRY: ERNEST CALLENBACH’S ‘ECOTOPIA” and OYA BAYDAR’S ‘THE NIGHT OF CHILDREN WITH DOGS’

Abstract

The first known Ecological Utopia novel was written by Ernest Callenbach in 1975 in America.
Ecological Dystopia, on the other hand, has already taken its place in many dystopian works, even
if it had not been named yet, as dystopia takes the future as its subject.
In dystopian fiction, since the problems that are and can be experienced in a country or in the world
are discussed, the dystopian writer expresses the negativities that may be experienced in the future
based on his/her own geography.
Ecological dystopia writers make predictions about how environmental pollution, forest fires,
natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods and erosion will affect humanity and the universe in
the future. Since there is no other planet suitable for human life, the authors' predictions about the
need to protect the planet we live in can be described as a cry of enlightenment.
