Abstract
Ecological Disaster in Frank Schätzing’s Novel "The Swarm" (2004): In "The Swarm" Frank Schätzing presents a convincing vision of a future in which nature turns against man: an unknown species, a single-celled creature with the ability to control the minds of other animals, discovered as a result of drilling, but living on our planet since the dawn of time, will fight to take over the Earth, which means the potential annihilation of humanity.
