Coevolution in The Expanse: Exploring Biological Aesthetics in Science Fiction
Abstract
This article explores the interplay between biology, technology, and culture through the analysis of the science fiction series The Expanse. Grounded in a theoretical framework based on the coevolution of technology and biology, inspired by Cornejo's (2017) propositions, the study examines how adaptive dynamics manifest in an interplanetary future. Through five axes, it addresses themes such as structural inequalities, the redefinition of human identity, and the ethical limits of technological intervention. The Expanse not only illustrates these tensions but also invites reflection on the challenges of a posthuman horizon. This approach provides insights into how science fiction articulates profound critiques of our biotechnological evolution.
