Post-apocalyptic climate fiction with a feminist introspective focus, Post Civ imagines a better, fairer world in microcosm after our current North American civilization is destroyed through unsustainable income inequality, racism, sexism, and nationalism, alongside a host of climate events including tsunamis, pandemics, tornadoes, and forest fires. Twelve survivors who have lost everything make their way to a mysteriously inhabitable island near what used to be Vancouver, where they struggle to survive, heal from their trauma, and begin to rebuild.
