Who doesn't like a good story, especially one that sharpens your thinking about the future? Science fiction has been doing that for generations, and now, a growing number of sci fi and speculative fiction writers around the world are imaging what a future with climate change will look like, and how we might respond to it.

Listen in to this thought-provoking final episode of the COAL+ICE Podcast with guests:

Chen Qiufan:  Chinese speculative fiction writer, author of "The Waste Tide," AI 2041: Ten Visions for Our Future (co-authored with Kai-Fu Lee), and more.

Gu Shi: Chinese speculative fiction writer, and Beijing urban planner.

Eliot Peper: Oakland-based American speculative fiction author of almost a dozen novels, including Veil, about someone hijacking the climate, and his latest thriller, Reap3r -- out in May 2022.
