Lloyd, Saci
Entry updated 18 August 2025. Tagged: Author.
(1967- ) UK cartoonist, singer and author. She is of sf interest for The Carbon Diaries sequence beginning with The Carbon Diaries 2015 (2008); couched in a Young Adult frame, it is shaped as the diary of a teenager/young woman written in a Near Future London where, due to violent weather Disasters, Climate Change has dramatically changed life in the metropolis. But life goes on. Her first singleton, Quantum Drop (2013), edges into a world where downloads are marginally advanced on 2013 reality; It's the End of the World as We Know It (2015) attempts to treat the hyperbolic changes of near-future urban life as exaggeratable in terms of spoof.
