Speculative fiction stories have the power to take abstract policy
debates and obscure jargon and turn them into gripping, visceral tales.
The emerging subgenre of climate fiction helps us imagine possible
futures shaped by climate change.
The Imagination and Climate Futures Initiative and the College for
Liberal Arts and Sciences at Arizona State University are proud to
announce the 2016 Climate Fiction Short Story Contest. The contest will
be judged by science fiction legend Kim
Stanley Robinson, award-winning author of many foundational works in climate fiction, along with other climate fiction experts from ASU.
The grand-prize winner will be awarded $1000, with three additional
finalists receiving book bundles signed by award-winning climate fiction
author Paolo Bacigalupi. A collection of the best submissions will be
published in a forthcoming online anthology, and
considered for publication in the journal Issues in Science and Technology.
