| Summary: | The article focuses on the role of geoengineering in contemporary climate change discourse, particularly examining its portrayal in various cultural productions, including the film *Geostorm*, the novel *Termination Shock*, and the game *Planet Crafter*. It argues that geoengineering, especially solar geoengineering, serves as a means of repression that distracts from the root causes of climate change, reinforcing a denialist unconscious that perpetuates capitalist interests. The analysis highlights how these texts valorize a masculinist subjectivity, framing geoengineering as a technological solution while neglecting the socio-political complexities of climate action. Ultimately, the article critiques the narratives that emerge from these works for their complicity in sustaining denialism and the patriarchal structures underpinning climate discourse.
