Spider the Artist

The story "Spider the Artist" portrays such a capitalist society as its extraction of oil hurts both humans and the nonhuman in the web of life. Jason W. Moore (2025) argues that humans and nature are interlinked in a web; in that sense, human-made nature and nature-made human. This interlink could account for this: in any political economy or ethics, humans adopt systems that harm nature; such a system invariably harms humans too.

Miss Doe and the Leafy Man

"The campaign was slowly yielding fruits, with the whole village collectively involved in fighting the epidemic. Then, a company calling itself Pest and Germ Control Corporation came up with a new method. It had modified the genes of the anopheles and created a new species that does not carry malaria parasites. It called this breed Miss Doe. It asked the government for a trial site. A powerful politician influenced the Ministry of Health to choose Abedo. He thought the project would bring employment to his people, and thus increase his popularity. Genetic scientists from PGCC then camped in the area, and introduced Miss Doe. Their plan was to out populate and replace the naturals with the disease free bugs. A simple plan. A great plan."
