The City In the Middle of the Night is a 2019 climate-fiction novel by Charlie Jane Anders.[1] It is set on a tidally locked planet, where human life, surrounded by hostile alien life, is mostly divided between two archetypically different urban sites.

It explores themes of personal relationships, mixed with coverage of contemporary social and political issues as depicted in its alien setting.
