Contributions are thematically organized into three sections—Human-Nature Co-evolution and Ecomedia, Technologies and East Asian Heritage, and Posthuman Ecology. Chapter authors draw on global viewpoints to provide a multi-dimensional analysis that includes Indigenous knowledge, trans-local (inter-Asian) exchanges, and perspectives from the Global South. To end, the book provides a reflection on how speculative fiction promotes a vision of interconnected kinship among humans, the nonhuman, and the natural world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eXinmin \u003cspan class=\"markriii9vw0a\" data-markjs=\"true\" data-ogac=\"\" data-ogab=\"\" data-ogsc=\"\" data-ogsb=\"\"\u003eLiu\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eis Associate Professor of Chinese and Comparative Cultures in the School of Languages, Cultures, and Race at Washington State University, USA.
