«This is a rich, timely collection of essays that makes a unique contribution to the environmental humanities. It does important work defining and charting the breadth and variety of cli-fi and is sure to appeal to those exploring cultural responses to the Anthropocene.» (Dr Astrid Bracke, Lecturer in English Literature, HAN University of Applied Sciences, Nijmegen, Netherlands) «Goodbody and Johns-Putra’s Companion will prove an indispensable guide to contemporary climate fiction for writers, scholars and critics alike. Its 29 chapters, five devoted to film, the remainder to the novel, range from genre science fiction through to literary modernism and young adult fiction, drawn from across Europe and North America, Australia and Korea. Invaluable.» (Andrew Milner, Professor Emeritus of English and Comparative Literature, Monash University, author of Locating Science Fiction)
