Ask HN: Have you read any good “Cli-Fi” (climate fiction) books?
I'm looking for climate science fiction books -- especially ones that combine realistic hard science/technology with a dystopian, climate-changed future.
My goal is to emotionally convince myself of the need to act urgently on climate change. I am only intellectually committed.
I would love your recommendations!
- Haldir 10y agoI guess you already know https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/36205.Cli_Fi_Climate_Change_Fiction https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/36205.Cli_Fi_Climate_Cha... Of those books I can wholeheartedly recommend the books by Paolo Bacigalupi.
- logancg 10y agoAye – the list is great. I always admire personal recommendations! Will take a look at Bacigalupi.
- db48x 10y agoFallen Angels by Niven et al. It's a bit light-hearted though.
- mkempe 10y agoForty Signs of Rain, by Kim Stanley Robinson Fifty Degrees Below Sixty Days and Counting
- logancg 10y agoFantastic, thank you. I didn't know Robinson had a (deliberate? unlike the Mars trilogy) cli-fi novel.
