It is clear from Our Shared Storm's narrative arcs and Hudson's
conclusion that he tries to reserve some optimism for the future
and the potential role that cli-fi can serve in helping others
imagine not only possibilities but also the kinds of politics and
large-scale social changes that might have to happen to get there.
. . From our current moment, this seems like a distant possibility,
but it is certainly a future worth aspiring to.-- "H-Net
Reviews"
Andrew Dana Hudson's Our Shared Storm is a fascinating
thought-experiment in imagining worlds to come. Through a set of
common characters kaleidoscopically revealed, readers are granted
perspectival narrative access to a skein of political, cultural,
and philosophical views that, along with their attendant actions,
will shape the planet for worse--or, perhaps, better.---Christopher
Schaberg, author of Searching for the Anthropocene
Hudson has found a way to strike together all the various facets of
our rapidly changing climate future, sparking stories that are by
turns, and often all at once, ingenious, energetic, provocative,
and soulful. He is the face of this new movement in science
fiction, and we're lucky to have him.---Kim Stanley Robinson
Hudson's innovative and exciting publication is, simultaneously, a
consideration of the relationship between climate fiction and
climate policy, a highly readable and teachable set of climate
stories, and a critical intervention in what climate fiction is
capable of achieving in the 'real' world.---Adeline Johns-Putra,
Professor of Literature, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, China
