INTERVIEW: C.D. TAVENOR, EDITOR OF “THE WORLD’S REVOLUTION”
I recently received a copy of C.D. Tavenor’s short story “Catalyst” a prelude to ‘The World’s Revolution: a Climate Crisis Anthology’. For those who are not aware, CliFi (climate fiction) is the umbrella genre for all fiction in which we deal with an uncertain future brought about by climate change. Solarpunk, lunarpunk, tidalpunk, and other speculative futurisms can fall under this genre but can vary in terms of time, place, culture, and worldview. “The World’s Revolution” anthology takes place in the future according to a predetermined time frame of possible outcomes starting in the year 2020, moving through 2047 and beyond. Allowing writers, artists, and readers to envision both climate disaster and dystopia, as well as, the possibility of creating utopia. With that in mind, I asked C.D. Tavenor a few questions about the anthology and his own opinions about our future. 46
