This two-short-story presentation of "Global Warming" begins with Ian McKinley's narrative on "Science Fiction Activism," whereby writers predict and history reveals. If science fiction can introduce a degree of caution, which guides history to avoid some of the scariest possibilities, then it has served humanity very well indeed.
The consequences of hitting a tipping point on global warming form the backdrop to "The Blame Game" in which a number of experts are caught up in the chaos resulting from sudden environmental collapse and argue about the root cause. Forced to find a way to survive, they're treading in new territory but have little to contribute.
"The Ag-108m lining" is set further in the future, during the post-apocalyptic recovery phase. Ag-108m is a long-lived radioisotope of silver and one of the major concerns in the damaged reactors of Fukushima Daiichi. However, compared to global warming, it's a trivial local accident with negligible health effects and a possible silver lining for the future of mankind.
Ian's experience ensures sound backdrops to his hard science fiction. Adult action thrillers showcase the evolution of society in the face of major technological advances and a degrading natural environment. All extrapolations over the next century are credible, maybe frighteningly so, given their dystopian nature.
Previously published novels offer offbeat takes on the impact of the collapse of a future, even more ubiquitous, Internet and the emergence of artificial intelligence.
