THE COLD MILLIONS by Jess Walter, set in the early 20th century, follows two Montana brothers as they search for work and get involved in the free speech riots among miners looking to organize a union in Spokane, Wash. It's a drama worth reading.

I've been reading Contagious: Why Things Catch on by Jonah Berger. Good stuff in there.

microfiction

Most people didn't really understand why it had gone from being called "global warming" to being called "climate change" until the first Long Winter covered the Northern Hemisphere with snow for 18 months straight.  It turned out that one movie was sort of right, though it didn't last forever, and the summer that followed was just as harsh in the other direction as that winter had been.

Kate was a survivor, scrounging the city for supplies day after day.  The population had been decimated that first Long Winter.  There'd been three in the two decades since the first, and each had taken it's toll on humanity and the other species of the planet.

But somehow, civilization had kept going on.  It turned out to be much more resilient than the doomers had thought, and Kate smiled as she opened a closet in a long abandoned home and discovered a stash of yarn.

The knitting circle would be so pleased.  They'd been working overtime preparing for winter - this one was predicted to be another long one.
