description: This anthology envisions winters of the future with stories of scientists working together to protect narwhals from an oil spill to bring snow back to the mountains of Maine to preserve ecosystems--even if they have to be under glass domes. They're stories of regular people rising to extraordinary circumstances to survive extreme winter weather to fix a threat to their community's energy source to save a living city from a deep-rooted sickness. Some take place after an environmental catastrophe with luxury resorts and military bases and mafia strongholds transformed into sustainable communes; others rethink the way we could organize cities using skybridges and seascrapers and constructed islands to adapt to the changes of the Anthropocene. Even when the nights are long the future is bright in these seventeen diverse tales.
