Abstract
The article explores Danish literature that addresses a new understanding of the human in the more-than-human world and argues that the texts in question will be remembered as one of the most important trends in fiction of the 2010s. Since the texts, in line with new trends in philosophy going under the name of speculative realism, challenge the rationalist complacency that nothing exists beyond the phenomenal world and speculate on new forms of human-nonhuman entanglements, I propose to classify these texts as speculative fiction.
