Abstract: The preliminary pages of Margaret Atwood’s The Heart Goes Last (2015) detail a crime-stricken, environmentally decayed future society disrupted by an economic crisis. The Positron Project in the town of Consilence appears as an alternative to the miseries caused by this economic collapse. It offers jobs and the essential comforts suspended for the people amidst the financial breakdown and chaos. This paper aims to analyse the theme of environmental oblivion to explore the ecological implications of the text. It will further explore how Mckibben’s concept of ‘post-natural world’ applies to Atwood’s The Heart Goes Last.

Keywords: Economic crisis, Prison, Oblivion, Environmental implications, Post-natural world.
