Fairhaven: An Unrealistic Optimistic Rendition of the Future

CLIMATE FICTION IS, in general, any kind of literature that deals with the effects of climate change. It is often considered a subgenre of science fiction because of its speculative nature—writers tend to either present a dystopic future projected on our current trajectory or start in the near future with proposed solutions that don’t exist yet or are still in development.

While I haven’t explored climate fiction extensively, the Nothing is Promised series, the work of one of my favourite authors, Susan Kaye Quinn, is classified “hopeful climate fiction” or hopepunk—Fairhaven by Steve Willis and Jan Lee presents itself in a similar vein.
