"Energy dependence" as a book category explores how individuals, societies, economies and geopolitics are shaped by reliance on particular energy sources and the infrastructures that deliver them. Works in this category—both fiction and nonfiction—examine the vulnerabilities, conflicts and power dynamics created by dependence on fossil fuels, electricity grids, imported oil and gas, or even single technologies (like batteries or nuclear reactors), as well as the social, environmental and economic consequences of those dependencies. Themes include resource geopolitics, policy and transition strategies, corporate and state control, energy poverty and inequality, technological lock-in and innovation, crisis and resilience in the face of outages or supply shocks, and personal or community stories of adaptation. Whether investigative reporting, policy analysis, techno-thrillers or post-carbon fiction, books in this genre interrogate who benefits, who suffers, and what it would take to change the energy relationships that underpin modern life.
