OffSet: A Dystopian Climate Fiction
Anna Trompetas

A stunning dystopian science fiction novel, exploring a future London reeling from the impacts of climate change.
You pay people to serve you food. You pay people to clean your home. You even pay people to do the things you're meant to enjoy; walking your dog or taking care of your kids. Payment in exchange for service makes the world go round. But where would you draw the line?
The world is in climate crisis. After an international crackdown on carbon usage, OffSet was a system which allows individuals to buy (and sell) carbon allowance from one another. But with militant surveillance of those at the bottom, for many, personal freedom is soon a thing of the past. Alice and Sam live side-by-side in two very different Londons. While Sam struggles to provide for her son, on the surface Alice 'has it all'. The two women develop a tentative friendship, but against a backdrop of frequent climate disasters, an increasingly hostile government, and rising tensions between those with, and those without, their lives take a dramatic turn.
OffSet explores questions of morality, motherhood, and the devastating consequences of exploiting the poor for the benefit of the rich, offering a powerful vision of a world on the brink of collapse and the people who must make impossible decisions in order to survive.
