Reviews

A unique and necessary book that bridges the too often too distant spheres of environmental activism and SF scholarship. --Fafnir: Nordic Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy Research Incredibly well-researched and notably conversant with the intricacies of both key sf writing and activism from the inception of environmentalism movements and their related speculative contemplations to those in the present day, Streeby's Imagining the Future of Climate Change is an indispensable text in working to turn the dystopian now toward more positive and inclusive means of fostering world community-building as we labor together to engage with the climate future we have wrought. --Science Fiction Studies (10/01/2018)
