A science magazine reviewing a solarpunk novel? We love to see it! Wendy Waring’s THE HUNGER OF THOSE WHO BUILT IT is in Science, bringing fiction into the conversation about climate, inequality, and the futures we’re building. Thanks to author Priya Dames!

A Science magazine review displayed against a textured green moss background. Headline: “Climate unrest comes to a fictionalized France.” Subtitle: “Insiders and dissidents pursue different paths to environmental justice in near-future Paris.” The review, by Priya Dames, discusses Wendy Waring’s novel The Hunger of Those Who Built It. A small book cover appears at the upper right. A central photograph shows a Paris building covered in greenery, with pedestrians below. The review explores the novel’s climate-changed Paris, class divisions, and competing approaches to social change.

I have to say, this weekend was so refreshing. In my teaching dayjob the continual refrain is that people don't read anymore (and this is not without evidence unfortunately) and we're reshaping curricula for very low literacy even at post-secondary. It was lovely to be around those excited to read.

Waring’s seductively spellbinding writing comes from the blending of intellect, imagination and formidable talent.

A packed house for The Hunger of Those Who Built It! Thank you to The City & The City Books for hosting, and to everyone who came to celebrate Wendy Waring’s phenomenal novel with us. We couldn’t have asked for a warmer welcome - or a more joyful launch.

Beneath the words “Thank you! for a fantastic launch!” six candid photographs show Waring smiling with attendees, holding copies of the vivid orange-and-purple book, and speaking at a table in the bookstore. Pomegranates, scattered seeds, a red-orange flower, a smiley face, and pieces of red tape decorate the collage.

The title is the warning. This Strange Horizons review places Wendy Waring’s novel squarely in our moment of wealth inequality -- when we must decide who our society serves, what we owe one another, and what kind of future we will build.

Check out the full review here: strangehorizons.com/...

Purple promotional graphic featuring the Strange Horizons logo, the cover of Wendy Waring’s The Hunger of Those Who Built It, and the Stelliform Press logo. Text reads: “Like all the best dystopian novels, The Hunger of Those Who Built It forces readers to confront the current drift of history into disaster. Nothing about this novel is far-fetched, the science already exists, and the will to exploit our world for personal advantage is already in power. The Hunger of Those Who Built It reminds me that I know the daughter of a multi-millionaire who is building a private, secure paradise with other trust-fund babies on an island off Central America. You’ve heard such stories, too. Whatever they claim about fairness and democracy, there is a tiny element of humanity with an extraordinary sense of entitlement, and those people don’t care who gets hurt in pursuit of their comfort.” - Jan Priddy for Strange Horizons. Available everywhere books are sold.
