I feel i've had quite the share of near-future climate-dystopias recently. First [b:A Children's Bible 55298364 A Children's Bible Lydia Millet https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1608832142l/55298364.SX50.jpg 73351391], then [b:The New Wilderness 48836769 The New Wilderness Diane Cook https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1597017220l/48836769.SY75.jpg 67686772] and now Road Out of Winter.
