The Rise of Thrutopia: A New Genre for a Climate Challenged World The climate crisis has been a staple of science fiction for decades, with portrayals often falling into one extreme or the other: dystopian despair or utopian fantasy.
However, a new sub genre is emerging that offers a more nuanced and hopeful vision of the future – thrutopia. This genre imagines a world where humans not only survive climate change but thrive in it.
Thrutopia's core idea is simple: instead of focusing on catastrophic consequences or idealized solutions, thrutopian stories explore what it means to live in a post climate crisis world.
