One of the greatest #cli-fi works written: brutal, unsparing, unflinching. Yet Orbital made the cut last year. I support this prize, I just can't support these choices. #climate-fiction #climatechange #books https://climatefictionprize.co.uk/shortlist-2026/20 Mar 2026 21:18 +0000at://did:plc:o363o7y7rbewnqlysfxsqlsm/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhjgxmckj22qhttps://bsky.app/profile/cli-fi-reviews.bsky.social/post/3metvay6sp22f"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.

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 https://climatefictionprize.co.uk/longlist-2026/13 Feb 2026 22:53 +0000at://did:plc:o363o7y7rbewnqlysfxsqlsm/app.bsky.feed.post/3merlwoxhyc2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/cli-fi-reviews.bsky.social/post/3lnvfe7ynss2iMainstream 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.

Unlike hopeful #books in the genre, it confronts accountability who caused the crisis matters.
