Un-Earthed: Last Days of the Anthropocene

I’ve been a fan of James Bradley (the author of this article) for a long time. He’s an Australian author who spans literary and science fiction, and has been a strong advocate for a genre that has been dubbed ‘cli-fi’ – climate-change fiction.

This piece is a call to action that is probably closer to creative non-fiction than cli-fi, but it’s a beautiful example nonetheless of storytelling about climate change. The facts have been known for a long time, but it’s the stories that are told around those facts that compel action (or, sadly, justify inaction).

Alongside the protests of the last few weeks, I am taking this piece as a different call-to-action: to tell better and more compelling stories about the things that matter.
