title = "Beautiful doom: the political aesthetic of Utopia",
abstract = "Dennis Kelly{\textquoteright}s television drama Utopia is a thriller whose characters are caught up in conspiracies about the global overpopulation crisis. The show{\textquoteright}s visual presentation, however, boasts striking landscapes that appear to have already been emptied of humans. This chapter, then, explores a key tension between the show{\textquoteright}s narrative and its aesthetic – on the one hand a discussion of how to tackle our planetary emergency and on the other a beautiful rendering of a world in which we are already doomed.",
