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. \u003c\/p\u003e\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","brand":"University of Nevada Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47578075529367,"sku":"9781647791599","price":4703.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781647791599.webp?v=1774905143","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/climate-change-fiction-and-ecocultural-crisis-the-industrial-revolution-to-the-present-9781647791599","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
