This week on Have a Nice Future, GLichfield and LaurenGoode talk to author Stephen Markley about his book The Deluge—a 900-page epic that attempts to lay out the next couple of decades of the climate crisis—and what our climate future may entail.
Yeah, I mean, in his fictional world, things still get really, really bad after the IRA passes, even in his modified version of the book, and, you know, I guess we today still don't know how the consequences of the IRA will play out or what other bits of legislation may or may not pass in the future, so I feel like there's still plenty of scope for being scared.
I think what's compelling about his book is that we still have, despite everything that's going on around us today, we still have trouble imagining what 10 or 20 years from now might look like, and there's something about putting it into fiction that makes it feel compelling and real. I can't even really explain why, 'cause as you said, it is real to us today.
