Further Reading
The introduction to the Last Horizon seeks to place the stories into context, in terms of scientific understanding of climate change, climate fiction (cli-fi) and non-fiction that has come before, and the state of global politics. This is a lot to attempt in a few thousand words, so this page is intended to provide summaries and references to more information and reading opportunity. Some of this will have been referenced in the introduction, and some of it will be totally new. There will also be the occasional blog post to build upon some of the themes of the stories and the introduction.
