The Year Without Sunshine

The Year Without Sunshine is a hopeful sf climate change short story/novelette from Naomi Kritzer. The premise is a small Minneapolis neighborhood bands together to try to take care of each other after an off page disaster that covers the sky in dust and ash.

I really appreciate how refreshingly optimistic Naomi Kritzer's science fiction is. I felt this way too about her short story Better Living Through Algorithms (or the CatNet stories), especially in terms of starting with something that is often a dystopic story idea and looking at it with a different light.
