Parts Per Million – Violence is an option

Awarded the Seraph 2025 for the best book

Topical, time-critical and extremely exciting. A climate fiction thriller about the future of climate activism. Author Johanna Stromann wants to write a novel about climate activists. But the research proves to be dangerous, as the state tries to suppress the protests with violence. Soon it is no longer possible for Johanna to remain neutral on the sidelines and simply document the events. On the contrary: it doesn’t go far enough for her. When the majority of climate groups were banned and their members sentenced to prison, she and the remaining activists founded the group “Parts Per Million” to bring the perpetrators of the climate catastrophe to justice. By any means necessary.

The most intense book I’ve read in a long time. Anyone who doesn’t think about climate change afterwards is probably dead.”
