"Hum" had potential as #climate-fiction but disappoints. Artificial nature parks concept is clever, yet climate & AI feel like backdrop, not story core. Some engaging moments, but underwhelming overall. Longlisted for Climate Fiction Prize—undeservedly so in my view. #cli-fi #books #climatechange
I wrote a deep dive into why Juice matters as #climate-fiction here: medium.com/@climate-fic... It's the accountability and unflinching #climatechange critique that makes this #cli-fi #book essential reading. #clifi #books
The 2026 #climate-fiction longlist is out and I'm rooting hard for Tim Winton's Juice. This #cli-fi #book is brutally honest, devastatingly dark, and doesn't offer false hope - just unflinching truths about our future. That's what #climatechange fiction should do. #clifi #books
Mainstream entertainment is propaganda that works because people believe they're choosing freely. My #climate-fiction article shows how the spectacle machine keeps us blind to #climatechange while #cli-fi reveals what's truly happening when other #books won't. True #cli-fi #books break this spell.
Tim Winton's "Juice" delivers a gut-punch of dystopian #climate-fiction without easy fixes. Unlike hopeful #books in the genre, it confronts accountability who caused the crisis matters. This #cli-fi masterpiece shows climate collapse isn't inevitable but caused by deliberate actions. #clifi
Just posted my review of "The Great Transition". This #climate-fiction #book is a catalyst that activates readers, exactly what great #cli-fi should do. It forces conversations about rebuilding society post-catastrophe while examining real solutions. Read my full take on this #climatechange novel!
I'm honestly confused by Climate Fiction Prize choices. "Ministry of Time" has barely any #cli-fi elements, and Orbital already won Booker. What truly disappoints me: Tim Winton's "Juice" - a #climate-fiction that moved me deeply - missing the cut. #clifi lit in #books needs better recognition.
This Guardian piece inspired my new article "Climate-Fiction Is Contemporary Fiction"! As they note, "climate" isn't fictional anymore. I argue we should keep the #climate-fiction label to spotlight stories engaging with #climatechange meaningfully. #cli-fi isn't niche- it's essential #books #clifi
Just published "Climate-Fiction Is Contemporary Fiction" after reading The Guardian's piece on how #cli-fi is no longer sci-fi but our reality. The "climate" isn't fictional - only the narrative is. #climate-fiction spotlights stories engaging with #climatechange, making it essential #books #clifi
Interesting study shows only 13% of films mention #climatechange despite it shaping our world. #Climate-fiction leads the way, but we need climate stories across all genres to reflect reality. Movies have power to educate and inspire action! #cli-fi #books #clifi
[Review] "Odds Against Tomorrow" by Nathaniel Rich delivers a powerful warning about disaster and denial. This compelling #climate-fiction exposes how we freeze when faced with #climatechange realities. An essential #cli-fi #book that strips away our comfortable complacency with clarity. #clifi
Guardian article covering the Climate Fiction Prize shortlist @climate-fiction.bsky.social #booksky #climate-fiction #clifi
Just published "The Spectacle Cage" - on how mainstream media distracts us while the world burns. #Climate-fiction #books break through this cycle, challenging readers to confront #climatechange realities instead of remaining comfortable in manufactured content. #cli-fi #clifi
My little book has average ratings of 4.4 ⭐ on Amazon (200 ratings) and Goodreads (150 ratings), with 85% of readers awarding it 4/5 stars.
Why not see what all the fuss is about? (Well, OK... fuss is a bit of an overstatement. But a few people seem to like it.) 😉

Samantha Harvery Oribal book cover
Just finished #Orbital by Samantha Harvey. #ClimateFictionPrize nominee. It's an evocative #climate-fiction work that captures Earth's fragility from space with awe. While it lacks concrete solutions of #climatechange issues and offers little hope, it's a thought-provoking #cli-fi #book
Just finished "The Ministry of Time". Nominated for 2025 Climate Fiction Prize @climate-fiction.bsky.social but barely addresses #climatechange issues. Just background mentions of heat waves & resource scarcity while focusing on romance. Not what I expected from a #climate-fiction #book nominee.
Looking for disturbing but brilliant #climate-fiction? "The Windup Girl" (2009) by Paolo Bacigalupi delivers a chilling portrait of #climatechange devastation. This #cli-fi masterpiece shows a future of corporate control and societal collapse. One of the most thought-provoking #books of the genre.
🌱 Just posted my review of Ecotopia! A Novel That Defined Eco-Fiction Before It Had a Name. Is this #climate-fiction classic still worth reading? I explore its vision, impact, and where it holds up (or doesn’t). If you’re into #cli-fi and alternative futures, check it out! #books #climatechange

Highly recommended! The Deluge by #StephenMarkley is a gripping #climate-fiction #book that takes you on an emotional ride through horror and hope, with a bold critique of capitalism. Insightful and thought-provoking, it’s a must-read for those concerned about our planet’s future. #cli-fi #books
I think that #Orbital by Samantha Harvey will snag the #ClimateFictionPrize. It’s got a poetic take on Earth’s beauty, but with some iffy geopolitical timing. Definitely a #climate-fiction book, though not quite a masterpiece. Still, it’ll take the win. #cli-fi #books #climatechange #Orbitalbook
I’m calling it now: #Orbital by Samantha Harvey will win the #ClimateFictionPrize. A unique blend of lyrical praise for Earth and questionable geopolitical timing. It's certainly a #climate-fiction book, but a masterpiece? Hardly. Still, it'll win. #cli-fi #books #climatechange #Orbitalbook
