Is disaster inevitable?
Defying FutilityĀ āĀ The Fairhaven StoriesĀ offers thirteen stories by the authors of the award-winning climate fictionĀ Fairhaven ā A Novel of Climate OptimismĀ that offer a definitive answer to this question, with a range of creative, heartwarming tales that showcase how real disasters in history might have gone differently.Ā

How could the passengers on theĀ TitanicĀ be saved? Could the devastation of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake have been mitigated? What could have prevented the industrial disasters in Flixborough and Chernobyl ā and how might that have changed our history?
Defying FutilityĀ covers an ambitious range of locations, situations, and cultures spanning nearly a century. They parallel the common disaster we face today: climate change. The various methods used to adapt to, prevent, or mitigate the impact of the disasters are designed to offer inspiration to readers who are eager to address the global climate crisis. These stories can help address climate anxiety both for adults and young adults.
The stories ofĀ Defying FutilityĀ are ācounterfactualā or āalternate historyā; in real life, these calamities actually happened, with tragic results. While we canāt change history, we can envision a situation where the impact of a disaster was reduced, or even prevented entirely ā and we can envision a collective future where we have done the same.
