Climate change has become visibly evident in the Anthropocene in which all species are naturally inclusive. Climate change in the Anthropocene has large implications since people think of themselves, as existing only as individuals and in communities but the larger understanding and consideration of the human link to the non-human world isn’t understood. Climate change brought with it - species extinction, the acidification and polluting of oceans, depletion of groundwater, deforestation, desertification of soil etc., Such ecological consequences spell out the human impact in bringing out the environmental crisis. The paper focuses upon the fact that it’s high time to assess the need of the hour since man stands the risk of human-induced climate changes in the Anthropocene. This paper explores the novel through a heuristic framework to make one aware of the invisible dangers and structures of power in harsh conditions. The paper studies through a close textual analysis surrealistic landscape and explores the fragmented narrative in bringing the instability and uncertainty associated with the human activities in the Anthropocene. The novel is explored through visual culture, transforming speculative fiction as a source of critical warning and the outcomes of the study reflect at the suggestion of the need for slow transformation away from the current capitalistic trend to save the future generations on the planet
