"I was doomscrolling again. It was a fall evening in 2023, and I found myself
sucked into a stream of posts about our collapsing climate: droughts causing
billions in Dust Bowl–style crop damage, Florida’s worst-ever coral bleaching,
a record melt in Greenland.

To distract myself, I picked up The Lost Cause, the latest sci-fi novel from
author Cory Doctorow, a friend and fellow nerd. To my deep surprise, it stirred
something unexpected: a feeling of hope."
