About Cli-Fi 2050
Cli-Fi 2050 is the pragmatic, post-carbon wing of climate fiction — the muted gray-blues of a near-future flood-line settlement built from weathered concrete and recycled composite, not sunny solarpunk green. It is sober, engineered, and ecological.
Regenerated-material surfaces, a desaturated water teal, and a single amber data-warning accent reserved for climate-alert interfaces define the register. The visual says: this is the future we actually built, after the water rose.
