To complement this amazing repository of "useful imagination", the most impressive piece of climate fiction I've picked up has been "Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052–2072": super powerful literary format (oral history in fiction), multiple perspectives, tough realism, lots of positive imagination. It has opened multitudes, sharpened myself and others towards the inevitable struggles.
Any Human Power by Manda Scott. If we tried to design a system to optimise death we couldn't do much better than extractive capitalism. Much climate fiction side steps realistic routes to system change with collapse scenarios. AHP takes a different thrutopian route.
Always a joy to hear from Tory and his incredible insights on climate fiction

Donald J. Trump Energy Pick a Climate Denier! - Chris White
Chris White rises, darkened skies,
A fossil fuel pawn in a green disguise.
With polished lies and a corporate tie,
He paves the path where safeguards die.
Regulation falls, the planet weeps,
Profit’s throne is where he keeps.
“Clean coal” dreams and geo plans,
A future scorched by his own hands.
Loyalists lurk, sabotage grows,
Renewable progress meets sharp blows.
Independence? A clever spin,
While Earth pays for the corporate sin.
The truth is clear, the stakes are high,
Resist the schemes, don’t let hope die.

I recently read Venomous Lumpsucker by Ned Beauman and I'll say this book did for me what I thought Ministry For the Future would.

Soil was the best book I read in 2024. Dungy did an interview in The Sun a few years ago that is a must read. https://www.thesunmagazine.org/articles/26465-poetic-justice
