Imagine a world that's nothing but desert!

A big advantage to setting a sci-fi world in a desert is that it's easy to conceptualize, compared to a geographically and culturally diverse world like Earth. That's not to say you can't include diversity, but DesertPunk strives to make the most of little, with technology tailor-made for such harsh conditions.All Rights Reserved

Picture this: We live on the outside of a planet with a secret interior world containing countless lost civilizations.

Sand Red by allinaac

The year is 8 billion and the Sun is dying. The richest of humanity has made its way to the distant Life planet Cerulone, leaving behind billions to die. Fast-evolving alien flora invades local ecosystems, converting acres and acres of land to thorny waste. Cultivation is impossible, and life on Earth is nearly extinct. The last humans on the face of the planet are plagued by a fatal disease, starvation and unquenchable thirst. In the midst of this survives Kun, a part of a band of youths. They fight to live each day, stealing and killing for anything they need as is the way of this world. Little do they know what is coming their way. A dangerous journey through the vast desert that is Earth for a sliver of hope. Is it worth it?

Ashes by angrychinchillanoise

Book 2 in the Burning Series: the sequel to Dust. The world is changing. There used to be men, and there used to be monsters. The line between the two is blurred now. Long ago, the earth spun in a constant cycle. There was life. There was hope. It is no longer such. Humanity cowers beneath glass domes in the midst of the desert, afraid of radiation that no longer pollutes the air. But there are darker things hiding in the wilderness now. Wild things. Cursed things. Burning things. Yet, not all is lost. Ashes, ashes. We all fall down sometimes. But what happens when you can't stand again?

Tevun Krus #129 Cli-Fi - Climate Science Fiction by Ooorah

Cli-fi or climate sci-fi centres on the reasons and outcome of climate change here on old Earth as well as potential means to prevent the worst. As such, cli-fi often has a darker tone, but who said that there can't be an upside to it? And of course, climate change can happen on other planets as well - and perhaps even be seen as something good by some? A large new subgenre to explore for the writers of the mothership!

Dust by angrychinchillanoise

All the earth is torn asunder. There used to be grass, and the sun used to be golden. Children played outside, climbing trees with smiles on their faces and grass stains on their knees. People worried about a million things that would soon be irrelevant, continuing without a clue of the disaster to come. Centuries later, what little is left of humanity survives in a society constructed beneath the surface of a glass dome, the world outside converted to little more than a desert wasteland. Survival is a routine rather than an effort, and all rules are surpassed by only one: if you want to survive, you never leave the dome. There's nothing alive out there. The radiation that soaks the earth makes sure of that. Until one day, someone finds a bloody, dust-covered handprint on the outside of the glass. Nothing will ever be the same again. Book 1 of the Burning Series Highest ranking: #13 in Adventure on 03/04/16
