Abstract:
Collected by the editor of the award-winning Lightspeed magazine, the first, definitive anthology of climate fiction - a cutting-edge genre made popular by Margaret Atwood. Is it the end of the world as we know it? Climate Fiction, or Cli-Fi, is exploring the world we live in now - and in the very near future - as the effects of global warming become more evident.
