The perils of climate change are unfolding at a dangerous rate before our eyes, and worldwide
responses to the problem seem tepid at best. Dystopian fiction has only grown in popularity during this time, but few narratives have tackled the crushing realism of our contemporary ills, and detailed exactly where we’re heading. Step forward Apple TV+ and “Extrapolations,” alongside a murderer’s row of talent, as they bring the matter to the forefront for our entertainment.

It’s not necessarily that it’s hard to get people to care about the climate change disaster that is
unfolding before our eyes. The problem is getting the people and corporations who can make
seismic change to give a hoot.
