Konrad advocates for the expansion and redefinition of the cli-fi genre and argues that industrial fiction from the nineteenth century is the first example of climate change fiction. Tracing the ways through which cli-fi outlines a history of our modern ecocultural crisis, this book demonstrates how the genre employs four major thematic clusters to achieve this narrative: weather, science, religion, and place. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Focusing on a diverse range of issues, including fossil fuels, cheap energy, the intricacies of human-more-than-human relationships, and postcolonial geographies, Konrad illustrates how cli-fi transcends mere storytelling. The genre ultimately emerges as an important means to forecast, imagine, and contemplate climatic events. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book invites a broadening of the environmental humanities discourse, asking readers not only to deepen their understanding of the current climate crisis, but also to consider how cli-fi culture can be viewed as an effective method to address climate change. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tatiana Konrad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1647791596\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781647791599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nevada Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.80w x 0.60d","brand":"Tatiana Konrad","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46217148039423,"sku":"9781647791599","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c2104bd3-bd85-42f3-919f-71d22509707b.jpg?v=1728514415","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/climate-change-fiction-and-ecocultural-tatiana-konrad-9781647791599","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
