ABOUT FUTURE HACK:

Genius Cat Books is set to unveiled the much-anticipated middle-grade book Future Hack by trailblazer Dana Klisanin in October 2023. With a mission to inspire young climate activists and immerse them in the world of anticipatory thinking, Future Hack is the captivating first installment of “The Chronicles of G.A.I.A.” series.

Lauded by Publishers Weekly for its “messaging around environmental education and individual activism,” the novel emboldens the next generation to embrace a growth mindset in the face of crises such as climate change in the post-pandemic era.

Future Hack invites readers on an exhilarating journey reflective of the magic found in the Harry Potter series. This sci-fi adventure introduces Lexa Andromeda, a 12-year-old environmental activist and social media influencer who resembles the iconic Greta Thunberg. Lexa joins forces with other young heroes at Thistleton Academy for Highly Creatives and, a time traveler, united in their noble quest to avert a catastrophic future extinction event.

Within the pages of Future Hack, readers will discover deep-seated themes of love, loss, the role of technology in shaping destiny, and a poignant environmental consciousness. Grayscale art by illustrators Melisca Klisanin and Yeyan Xu features throughout. In an age of ecological uncertainty, Future Hack is more than a book; it’s a resounding call to action, challenging us all to envision a brighter, more sustainable future for our fragile planet.

Stay tuned for the highly-awaited release of Future Hack on October 24th. To join the movement and explore a world of anticipatory thinking and environmental action, visit her website and follow her on LinkedIn and X (formerly Twitter).
