Author bio
Claudia Befu writes literary climate fiction that imagines better futures. Born in Romania under communism, she dreamed of forest cities with capsule homes from the age of six. Today, she is a prize-winning poet, playwright, and science fiction author. There Is Hope is her debut novel, part of The Museum of Life saga—from Earth’s last forest to humanity’s final archive among the stars. She lives in Austria, works in green tech, and was born at 340 ppm—and counting.
