Abstract
This article reads the fantasy behind depictions of sterility in sf film and television, focusing in particular on Blade Runner 2049 , Orphan Black , and Children of Men. Historically contextualized by climate change on the one hand and the extractive logic of racial biocapitalism on the other, sterility apocalypses are a part of an emergent biopolitics of reproduction that seek to enclose the living labor of the body – not just at the level of the cell or the tissue, but at the source of generativity itself, here metonymized by sexual reproduction.
