land down under: australian cli-fi

a selection of fiction titles from australian authors responding to the climate crisis, usually with a speculative bent. these works tend to spotlight the specificities of the australian landscape, often drawing from the ecological devastation we are already experiencing, and the continual impacts of colonisation on climate.
