description | — | Saci Lloyd is a British writer. Lloyd teaches media studies in secondary school in East London, and publishes young adult novels of dystopian near-futures. Speaking of her chosen genre, Lloyd says “The best dystopia is a lens for looking at contemporary society. I like books that get children reading, and if that means vampires and werewolves then so be it, but I think reality is a more interesting topic.” Reviewer Rebecca Onion describes Lloyd's genre as “soft apocalypse,” which “chronicle[s] societies changing as a result of a series of rolling crises, rather than in the blink of an eye, as from a nuclear blast....” Onion continues “Because they take this ‘soft’ approach, Lloyd’s Carbon Diaries books are wonderful at showing the effects of climate change and scarcity on everyday life; they’re also completely terrifying.” |
