Clifi
White Grass: A CliFi Technothriller is a near future science fiction novel by Richard Smith set in the year 2048, after a devastating superstorm pushes the planet toward climate collapse. The story follows the Marshall family, led by Greg, a nanoscientist who develops WhiteGrass, a revolutionary technology capable of combating climate change on a global scale. Supported by family members and an advanced humanoid system named Valada, the Marshalls activate the technology—only to attract powerful political and global elites who seek to control it for their own gain. As espionage, manipulation, and weaponized androids enter the conflict, the family must balance the mission to save the world with their own survival. The novel blends high stakes action with ethical and emotional questions about innovation, power, and who should control technologies that shape humanity’s future. Aimed at readers of climate fiction and science fiction thrillers, White Grass combines urgent real world themes with fast paced storytelling.
