The Unreliable Nature Writer

Written by Claire Carroll

Narrated by Charlie Sanderson

Is this the type of confetti made from lots of tiny dead flowers?

Yes. Seems to be. It’s quite popular nowadays I think, as a sustainable alternative—

Pretty morbid to throw dead flowers over our friends.

Meet the Unreliable Nature Writer: a macabre product of late capitalism, climate anxiety and personal loss. Finding herself alone at a wedding, tailed by an unctuous and infatuated fellow guest, she proceeds to have her fun – plunging us into a potpourri of disturbing, darkly funny visions of a near future. Aloof, evasive and sardonic, she will be our guide; her stories will bare truths about how the world we’re changing so violently might affect us in turn…

In suburbia, a woman – a beloved wife and mother – begins a sordid affair with the humanoid robot her husband has brought home.

In a grand mansion, a woman recounts a dream of social stability and home ownership to a bizarre tribunal that will determine her future.

At a campsite, ordinary families swarm to pass their sweltering summer holiday – while just off the coast, the rich and powerful enjoy a very different kind of holiday from static cruise ships.
