Contrapractice
Action Against Defuturing
Bloomsbury
This much awaited book is a response to his extensively cited writing on defuturing.

Tony Fry 
Disapearing Cities 2026
Anthem Press

The book is a collection of over fifty short stories of invented cities set in the not-too-distant future, destroyed by
varied climate change impacts and linked natural disasters. The stories bring into question the relation between natural and unnatural forces of change and expose responses to, and lessons learnt, from different disaster crises situations. Stories also focus
on how means to adapt are sought.

Political Breakout 2025
Vernon Press


This book confronts the complexity of the world in
which we all now live. It examines the relations of the forces of change: enviro-climatically, geopolitically, ideologically, technologically and their impacts, by going beyond the ways in which accelerating crises are rationalized and represented in the media.
As such it cuts through appearances to show what is beneath
​them. It recognizes crises are now combining to create
​a ‘compound condition’ that existing institutionalized politics
cannot comprehend or adequately respond to. Specifically, the
scale of the impacts posed by climate change, the proximity of global conflict, and the way technology is implicated in both, combine as an incresing danger
