i don’t need to explain to anyone why the proliferation climate fiction has skyrocketed over the past few years. this new wave of climate fiction, from 2020-present (ongoing), refuses to exclude climate catastrophe from depictions of or changing world. these works are grounded in present and future realities, the speculative less ‘speculative’, and more predictive.

When the pursuit of knowledge crosses the line into moral depravity.

Everything on the longlist for the 2026 Climate Fiction Prize!

"The Climate Fiction Prize celebrates novels that explore what it means to be human in our rapidly changing world. It highlights how climate fiction spans genres, from thrillers and sci-fi to romance and comedy, showcasing the breadth and diversity of stories that engage with the social, cultural and emotional dimensions of climate change."

Everyone knows George Orwell or Aldous Huxley. Their works are considered to be the staples of dystopia stories.

But are they?

Most of the people know Octavia E. Butler or Margaret Atwood. They showed the feminine side of dystopia. But this subgenre of science fiction have much more to offer.

Yes, you find here all the famous ladies too but I'll do my best to find even more. So I hope the fellow Boundlings will help too💗
