Nazdam and Jamieson, a fiction writer and philosopher, collaborated in 2015 to consider how to write about love and life in the late anthropocene. Flyfishing is a story of a father and daughter on a fishing trip in an homogenised mountain region where technology has either replaced or enhanced the wildlife and surroundings. The story is set at an unspecified time in the future, and plays with the idea of wilderness-as-leisure facility. Under the surface throughout is this idea of the shifting baseline; the notion that one generations’ norms will differ greatly from the next, and how this impacts on the natural world.
