Definition
Ecophobia is a collective psychological disorder that formed in the late 2070s, characterized by pathological fear and aversion toward concepts such as “nature,” “organic,” and “wild,” together with heavy dependence on artificial synthetic environments and sterile spaces.
Operation and Significance
The Green Carcinoma, uncontrolled ecological systems, and the Scorched Earth Protocol transformed nature from a romantic symbol into a concrete source of risk. Once the Total Synthesis Industry became a safe, predictable, and controllable alternative, some humans no longer regarded nature as an original state worth returning to, but as an uncontrollable environment associated with contamination and attack.
