A review by mpeteuil
Loosed upon the World: The Saga Anthology of Climate Fiction by John Joseph Adams

hopeful informative reflective sad medium-paced

3.5

Some stories offered hope for the future. Some stories showed us the more things change, the more they stay the same. Some stories flipped the script. Overall There were a handful that I'll be referring to in the future, but they all made me think, and for that I'm grateful to have read this collection.

I'd recommend it as a good starting point for anyone else looking for climate fiction, particularly if they didn't want to commit into a full length novel.
