New York 2140 by Kim Stanley Robinson (2017

This is a a very creative story spinning out trends of income inequality and climate destruction to 2140 in New York.  The oceans rise 50 feet, and half of Manhattan is submerged.  But the city and its people are resilient.  We're idiots, but they survive.

There are lots of books that get at the same topic from a different angle. It's reassuring to see that others are taking this seriously.

This is a good read.
