Good story telling climate fiction can open our imagination to new ideas, possibilities, and visions of the future. I discovered author Kim Stanley Robinson and recently read/enjoyed Aurora. Thanks for your post Gavin!

“Killer story” is an intriguing way to describe much climate fiction. I always wish for climate fiction that feels more like Star Trek and less dystopic--less killer. What I mean by “like Star Trek” is in the way that seeing Star Trek inspired so many tech inventions. Continually reading the dystopic or bleak stories can make it feel as though that’s the only path forward. I’d love to see climate fiction that focuses on a different story and inadvertently inspires new ways of operating. I haven’t found a book like that yet, but the search continues.
