Tipping Point

Ecofiction for Tomorrow's World

De: M. A. Dosser - editor

Narrado por: M. A. Dosser

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 Tomorrow's 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 listeners to consider not only the worlds we may lose, but also the futures we can still create.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A Speculative Fiction Must Read/Listen-To!

Tipping Point: Ecofiction for Tomorrow’s World offers readers imaginative stories about fictional futures and fantastical worlds, but are also still deeply connected to our current, rapidly changing world and climate. I loved listening to the short stories by Dosser, his voice goes wonderfully with each story.

If you’re looking for: a quick chapter to listen to when you want a ~10 min break from your day; a eco-fiction tale that makes you stop and think about humanity’s role in real ecological environments through imagined ones; a message of hope about how the world we live in could be better if we work together; or, given Dosser's soothing voice, maybe even a sleep story to fall asleep to, this audiobook is DEFINITELY for you!

5/5 Stars - Highly Enjoyed!

Beautiful Storytelling of a Harrowing Future

Masterfully edited and beautifully read by M. A. Dosser this collection of short form speculative science fiction is as much a joy to listen to as it is a sobering warning of potential futures for our world. I highly recommend getting both the audio book and physical form to experience the beautiful art by Kevin Pabst as well as the immersive storytelling by M. A. Dosser. Many great stories included by a wide variety of authors makes this a must listen to book for me. 10/10
