Catégorie:En traduction La fiction écotopiste est un sous-genre de la fiction utopiste où les auteur(e)s avancent soit un monde utopique ou dystropique dans le cadre d'une conservation ou une destruction de l'environnement.

La nouvelle Ecotopia de Ernest Callenbach fut le premier exemple du courant, suivi par Ecotopia Emerging de Callenbach et la Three Californias Trilogy de Kim Stanley Robinson._

Robinson has also edited a collection of short ecotopian fiction, called Future Primitive: The New Ecotopias. Other examples are Starhawk's The Fifth Sacred Thing and Ursula K. Le Guin's Always Coming Home. Much of Sheri S. Tepper's work also centers on this theme as well as ecofeminism.

Ecotopian literature deals with themes of responsibility toward nature’s “web of life” and Planet Earth, as well as toward people. When set in modern times (as it usually is), the theme of appropriate use of technology is inevitably part of the story (it may actually be a main theme, or simply a sub-theme). As with any novel, the authors’ intent is that the stories are engaging in human terms, but issues of sensitivity to the environment, ethics, planning, and keeping things manageable (or within a human scale) are brought in.

Respected thinkers like Lewis Mumford, Aldous Huxley, Buckminster Fuller, Ivan Illich, Paul R. Ehrlich, and Hazel Henderson – many of them considered important pioneers – have thus had an influence on the Ecotopian authors.
