Meaning of cli-fi | Babel Free
ˈklaɪfaɪExamples
“Perhaps the most high-profile cli-fi author is Margaret Atwood, whose 2009 The Year of the Flood⟳ features survivors of a biological catastrophe also central to her 2003 novel Oryx and Crake, a book Atwood sometimes preferred to call⟳ "speculative fiction".”
“The issue⟳ is so pressing that some have⟳ started to use⟳ the term “cli-fi” for climate fiction — but this faddish coinage obscures a longer history of sf’s engagement with the environment and leaves unexamined the question⟳ of why sf has proven such a valuable genre for thinking about environmental futures.”
