Synopsis

A man sealed inside a fallout bunker questions whether survival is the same as living. A married couple, separated by unbearable heat, dreams of reuniting as temperatures continue to rise. A salesman plots to profit off the denizens of a drowned world. Unrelenting storms interrupt weddings and daily routines. Food supplies dwindle. Humans, animals, and plants are displaced. Loved ones are left behind. Cycles repeat. Yet, hope persists. Mechanical marvels, intrepid explorers, and small acts of defiance make a difference in our changing world. Cycles can be broken.

Tipping Point: Ecofiction for Tomorrows World brings together twelve authors affiliated with Vanderbilt University, Nashville, and the greater Tennessee area to imagine how climate change will shape the future of our world. These speculative fiction stories explore the personal, political, and planetary stakes of a changing climate. Whether unsettling and haunting or profoundly humorous, these stories are deeply human. Tipping Point invites readers to consider not only the worlds we may lose, but also the futures we can still create.
