Well now that is SOME #speculativefiction - #LLM gut white-collar #jobs which cuts #consumption knocks out #tax #revenues right when a #recession is forcing #government to spend more which leads to something akin to universal basic income

With #elnino boosting #climatechange driven #temperature increase in the same timeframe and the crazy Prez ginning up #tariffs and #wars - the next 2-3 years are gonna wreak havoc on the #poor - e.g. #India

"Without #positive #climate #futures, visions of climate #adaptation and #resilience that we can work toward, it’s much harder to motivate broad-based efforts for change in the present.
Through short #speculativefiction, essays, and visual art, Climate Imagination seeks to inspire a wave of narratives about what positive climate futures might look like for #communities around the #world."

"Fundamentalist faiths make religion dangerous to others, the nonbelievers and heretics who must be made to yield."

This is one of the key themes explored in #climatefiction #novel "A New Faith"

The correct word to describe this is #colonialism or #imperialism

In my #novel, "A New Faith", the #city of Sequoia is created for #climate #refugees The #villains are the #billionaires who would rather the city failed so that they could #enslave the residents. But the people fight back!

Idea for a novel - just like Michael Chabon's "The Yiddish Policemen's Union" set in a fictional community in Alaska for Jewish WW2 survivors, how about a fictional community for #climate #survivors from #Africa #Asia that is located in the #Lapland ? How about a nice #detective #mystery #thriller ?

Wait... that is what "A New Faith" is - tinjar.ghost.io/a-new-faith

"Individuals born in historically safe states remain safer wherever they go, while individuals born in historically dangerous states face a greater risk, including from police violence."

This is one of the key themes explored in "A New Faith" - a #solarpunk story of #climate #refugees. The Q is whether they can "choose" to move beyond that baggage.

With trends such as these, it is not particularly hard to imagine the life in Sequoia, the fictional city of "A New Faith". What this #solarpunk #book explores is how these #climate #refugees figure out (or not?) how to live with this freedom.

"Majumdar said that her novel was prompted by asking herself: “Are there good people and monsters or do we contain elements of both?”

Same Q animates the characters in "A New Faith."

Mass #migration because of #climatechange is the context for the #solarpunk #novel "A New Faith". It is not about a few thousand people needing refuge, but 100s of millions if not billions. There is no plan for it.

Writing #solarpunk #speculativefiction #climatefiction doesn't necessarily mean that the authors are responsible for imagining the whole thing. Sometimes reality - see #Switzerland #transportation - has already done the heavy-lifting. The #urbanplanning and #transit in "A New Faith" draws on European and Asian systems a lot.

While this is a review of Ian McEwan's latest #climatefiction #book - the discussion of Amitav Ghosh's critic is quite salient. In "A New Faith", I try to do exactly what he is urging #writers to do.

The context for "A New Faith" is #migration (as one way #adaptation to #climatechange could happen).

It is, of course, fiction!

This article spells out the current state of the climate adaptation field quite well.
