Grist is a nonprofit, independent media organization dedicated to telling stories of climate solutions and a just future. Its goal is to use the power of storytelling to illuminate the way toward a better world, inspire millions of people to walk that path with them, and show that the time for action is now.

Praise for Metamorphosis “This anthology is essential climate fiction.”—Earth Island Journal“Unlike climate change fiction that depicts dystopian and apocalyptic worlds, these stories craft different visions for humanity’s future, ones that offer hope.”—Justine Payton, Reckoning“Moving beyond the too-simple axis of hope and despair, Metamorphosis: Climate Fiction for a Better Future represents a necessary kind of literature—stories that contend with both where we’re headed and where we want to go. There are radical reimaginings of the world on almost every page of this collection, written by authors who represent some of the most exciting new names in speculative fiction. But more than pragmatism or prescriptivism, these stories are grounded in soul, a deep communion with the belief that we can—and must—rebuild our relationship with the planet.”—Omar El Akkad, author of What Strange Paradise“Humanity is facing a moment in its existence that demands all of the species’ faculties for imagination, hope, language and sympathy. It may be close to the last moment. The twelve stories and speculations in this volume suggest that survival and well-being are indeed within reach, if we exercise the qualities that best make us human.”—Ken Kalfus, author of 2 A.M. in Little America“Too often, climate change narratives center the privileged and ignore the world’s most vulnerable communities. But this slim yet culturally expansive collection offers a necessary framework for the future, one that does not simply think about adaptation or tech or policy but embraces the hope and possibility of perhaps our greatest asset: one another. Imaginative, heartbreaking, and hopeful all at once—a crucial and beautifully humane climate fiction entry.”—Sequoia Nagamatsu, author of How High We Go in the Dark“Metamorphosis is both astonishing and reassuring—these stories, written by people scattered all across Earth, dare to imagine a future where humans survive. There are no perfect Utopias or simple solutions here. And yet there is hope that we will find many pathways toward sustaining the ecosystems that sustain us.”—Annalee Newitz, author of The Terraformers
