Abstract
This paper is a collection of responses from computer scientists to the silencing of science. Sustainability-driven computing research-encompassing equity, diversity, climate change, and social justice-is increasingly dismissed as 'woke' or even dangerous in many sociopolitical contexts. As misinformation, ideological polarisation, deliberate ignorance and reactionary narratives gain ground, how can sustainability research in computing continue to exist and make an impact? This paper explores these tensions through Fictomorphosis, a creative story retelling method that reframes contested topics through different genres and perspectives. By engaging computing researchers in structured narrative transformations, we investigate how sustainability-oriented computing research is perceived, contested, and can adapt in a post-truth world.
