In this book No Future Lee Edelman focuses on the figure of the child as the embodiment of the future, a symbol of the reproductive futurism that characterizes the existent. By positioning the queer in opposition to the idea of the future Edelman builds an ethic of death, supported by 'death drive,' analysis of Hitchcock, Dickens, and others with anti-social visions desiring no future as opposed to a more inhabitable one.
