I was first turned on to this novel by hearing Miller as a guest on one of my favorite podcasts Geek's Guide to the Galaxy. That leads me to this novel Blackfish City and the author Sam Miller. I am trying to read as many of the major works of Cli-fi that I can and boost the signal for the great ones. I hope that one day we will get a classic that reaches the mainstream. We are at a crossroads where every look into the horrors that climate change unchecked is likely to bring are important. In my role as a critic, I feel a great responsibility to promote works of Cli-fi because I consider these novels to be as valid a form of social commentary like the novels On The Beach and Alas Babylon were at the height of the arms race. If you have read my blog or reviews at all you will know I am a big believer in the Cli-Fi literary movement and consider myself apart of it as both an author and critic.
