Summary

Storytelling can inspire us to take action on the ever-worsening climate crisis. Ali Horriyat and Cathryn Bancroft join forces in writing a new cli-fi book, The Hollow Age, which dares to ask the question: if our planet burns, do we run to another planet or risk everything to save it? Together with Corinna Bellizzi, they discuss how they use fiction to shed light on the alarming realities of the earth right now.
