Exploring How a Utopian Future Can Turn Dystopian (w/ Michelle Min Sterling)


Listen Later

As the Earth warms and many parts of America become uninhabitable, where will Americans go to find new homes? How will the communities built by American-born climate migrants be different from those they left? What can turn the hope of a new beginning into the nightmare they had been trying to flee?

This week, we talk to Michelle Min Sterling, author of the new book "Camp Zero". Set in 2049, "Camp Zero" tells the story of two American settlements, one government-funded and one privately-funded, trying to establish new communities now that America has been ravaged by droughts, storms, and floods fueled by an ever-worsening climate crisis.
