What can a science fiction novel from the early 20th century offer to contemporary environmental law? This essay develops a series of reflections on the contributions of the novel Star Maker, by Olaf Stapleton (1937), published in 1937, to rethink and redesign the legal instruments directed to environment or nature protection.  The paper approaches different topics from the novel in relation to reflections of legal- theoretical nature, related to ecology: the overcoming of anthropocentrism, the critique of  industrialization and the debates on development, the concepts of harmony, diversity,  interrelation, interdependence and complementarity and the recognition of rights to non- human entities. The contrast between excerpts from Star Maker and the theoretical  perspectives that link law and nature makes it possible to visualize the potential that the work offers to articulate and rethink law in the context of the ecological crisis and global climate emergency.
