Hmm. Maybe don’t start with MftF then, I haven’t been able to get past the first couple of harrowing chapters for this exact reason. You might try the Solarpunk end of the subgenre instead?

Last 2 reskeets = shot, chaser. People are dying of heat stroke NOW due to the climate crisis, not in some distant future. Maybe we should be talking about those deaths and insisting our governments engage with reality, instead of arguing about The Right Way To Protest.
