We are excited to invite you to join the Warwick Nexus Reading Group for a stimulating exploration of the novel The Ministry for the Future (Orbit, 2020) by Kim Stanley Robinson.

This gripping work imagines a near-future world deeply impacted by climate disaster, sparking radical activism, geo-engineering, and a shift in global governance.

As the novel unfolds in the 2020s and 2030s, it challenges our understanding of the climate crisis and asks whether science fiction can offer better solutions for the Anthropocene than traditional literary fiction. 

Why attend?

This is an excellent opportunity to challenge the way we think about the future of our planet and the fight for survival. Whether you're interested in climate change, speculative fiction, or global sustainability, we welcome you to participate and be part of this thought-provoking discussion, led by research experts.
