It is often the case that disasters, real and imagined, often appear as extended prose works. Dystopian fiction has always thrived on this with images of post-apocalyptic earth, survivor humans and strange weather. Octavia Butler, JG Ballard, Maggie Gee, Margaret Atwood, Stephen Baxter…the list of novels by literary and popular writers is very long.
