(1972- ) Canadian author whose first novel, the Near-Future Dystopian Swarm (2013), which is set at a time after fossil fuels have finally been depleted, follows its protagonist on a dangerous hegira into a ruined City for provender; her return to something like primordial wilderness, which in some narrative traditions might signal the End of the World, strikes a Canadian note. Some of the tales assembled in Places Like These (coll 2023) touch on Climate Change and Ecological degradation in general. [JC]
