Ever since climate change has begun to disrupt everyday life for more and more people, climate disasters have made kids disappear.

Where are all of the children displaced by Hurricane Katrina? Have we fully accounted for the families leaving the American Midwest due to prolonged droughts? How do you keep track of climate refugees if they are not old enough to vote?

This novel tells the story of two perspectives on this issue: a teacher and a teenager. K is living in the burnout lane of working as a teacher in the 2050s. Artificial intelligence has changed the field of teaching so much that K barely recognizes his role as an educator anymore. V is a teenager who fell through the gaps after climate disasters. Access to technology in a changing world of values and norms makes her grow up fast, hopefully before it's too late.All Rights Reserved

FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH A novel of tomorrow by LeonBerger123

It's not difficult to predict the future. Just scan today's headlines and extend the trends. Climate change, virus pandemic, terrorist threat, government surveillance, genetic engineering, corporate malpractice. Yet on a personal level, there's an issue that's perhaps even more disturbing. Identity theft. In an era of security paranoia, every aspect of our lives will be registered, from DNA to IQ, from official documentation to private finance, from medical history to psychological profile. When that information is hacked and sold, it will be the innocent victim with no credentials who'll be classified as a risk to society. This is the odyssey of one such individual, of the journey she takes and the truth that she finds.

The Typhon Project by MelindaFriesen

Radiation is decimating the human race. When the Earth's magnet field fails, only the best and brightest young people are selected for genetic modifications that will save them. Leah is among the few chosen to survive. But losing her family and the physical changes caused by the modifications leave her devastated--she hates looking in the mirror at the creature she's become. She's transported to The Farm to be with others of her kind, but when she sneaks from the compound one night, she meets a boy, a human boy, seemingly unaffected by the radiation, who reveals a wild conspiracy theory about the genetic modifications and the very nature of the magnet field failure. His theories could be tumor-induced paranoia. Or he could be telling the a truth.
