Never Heard of Cli-Fi? Here Are 20 Books That'll Introduce You to the New Genre

In The Beast of Cretacea, Todd Strasser reimagines the classic Moby Dick and turns it into an allegory about creeping climate change. Ishmael is a teenage boy who wakes from stasis to discover that he's on a new, clean planet rather than the polluted Earth he left behind. Cretacea isn't all it seems, though, and his task becomes hunting down ocean beasts — including a legendary creature — to send back to an Earth severely depleted of its resources by climate change.
