Climate fiction, or cli-fi, gives authors the opportunity to grapple with arguably the biggest problem humanity has ever faced: the current climate crisis in which we live. This comes with great potential, but also great existential worry. Does cli-fi dwell on dystopian and post-apocalyptic futures too much, ignoring more hopeful alternatives? Does it generate too much anxiety or paralyze people into inaction, or can it inspire readers to take matters into their own hands to avoid such terrible potential futures?
