“Acclaimed author Tony White was commissioned by the Science Museum to write a new work of fiction exploring the potential political, social and cultural impacts of climate change. The resulting novel, Shackleton’s Man Goes South, was inspired by a little known science fiction story written in 1911 by polar explorer and meteorologist George Clarke Simpson, and tells the story of refugees fleeing to the safety of a post-melt Antarctica.

Tony’s previous publications include the novel Foxy-T and the non-fiction work Another Fool in the Balkans: In the Footsteps of Rebecca West. He will discuss his bold and gripping new novel-cum-manifesto with Gregory Norminton, author and editor of Beacons: stories for our not so distant future.”
