Description
“These stories are grounded in soul, a deep communion with the belief that we can–and must–rebuild our relationship with the planet.”–Omar El Akkad, author of What Strange Paradise
Otherworldly but remarkably familiar, ancestral but firmly rooted in alternate futures, these twelve innovative stories–winners of the Imagine 2200 climate fiction contest organized by Grist–offer a glimpse of a future built on sustainability, inclusivity, and justice. A beekeeper finds purpose and new love after collaborating on a bee-based warning system for floods. An Indian family preserves its traditions through food, dance, and the latest communication fads. After an oceanic rapture, a lone survivor adapts to living in a tree on a small island with a vulture he befriends. Flickers of hope, even joy, illuminate these alternate realities.
Curated by Grist, the leading media organization dedicated to foregrounding stories of climate change, Metamorphosis is a visionary and speculative collection. Immersive, thought-provoking, and often surprising, these stories serve as a springboard for exploring how fiction can help us envision a tomorrow in which we flourish and thrive.
