For Salvage, four different genres come to mind: Climate Fiction (Setting), Climate Fiction (Refugees), Young Adult, and Women’s Literature. Readers and authors alike are free to ruminate on the nature of genre and how it relates to any given text. Genres are dynamic frameworks that describe texts with similar or related forms and contents. Genres: Climate Fiction (Setting), Climate Fiction (Refugees), Young Adult, Women’s Literature I recommend it to anyone who’s looking for women’s literature, cli-fi, an intriguing look at a conservative spacefaring culture, or just a good read in general. It’s a surprisingly rich and complex young adult tale that includes significant references to climate change. Ava is born into a surprisingly conservative spacefaring culture and struggles to survive when her tribe condemns her. Salvage by Alexandra Duncan is the tale of a young woman’s journey from subservience to independence.

The display of this fervor has been channeled and distilled throughout time into one sacred object: the battle vest. The religious ferocity of Heavy Metal fandom is one of the most fervent in the history of subculture.
