It is great to see Cli-Fi as we need so much more stories like these! The Trump satire was great and really funny too.
Despite the fact that the stories are very US-centred in their wording and atmosphere, they make a lot of really good points, even if a lot of them are very on the nose most of the time. I was disappointed that many of the stories were lacking in worldbuilding and suffered underdeveloped and inconsistent characters that made the overall stories differ.
The settings were quite original and interesting but a lot of blatant mistakes were getting me out of the story many times. The mistakes were not spelling, punctuation or formatting which all are done very well, but rather the details that were very disruptive due to being too much of a "current situation in the world" remarks rather than a creative reimagining of what we are all experiencing now with Climate Change.
I still enjoyed the stories but was disappointed in the end as it was in many ways more telling and not as much showing.
Please, check this collection of short stories they are still really good but just be repaired that some will need more suspension of disbelief than others. Great compendium nevertheless!
