Reading Science Fiction Politically: Spring 2025
Mon, March 3 @ 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM
Free
March 17 and then Mondays, bi-monthly at 5:00 pm US ET
The long-running Science and Visionary Fiction book group begins its Spring series March 31.
We read this and all our selections mindful of our book group’s overall commitment, To build a better future, we have to envision it first (adapted from Walidah Imarisha). Reading science, speculative and visionary fiction, discussing it together, and reading it politically, offers one tool for envisioning a future worth building. This spring, we will continue our explorations of diverse points of view of social conflict and resolution, possible and imagined just worlds, here on Earth and perhaps afar.
Whether you have always read science fiction or never given it a second thought, consider spending a season with the MEP Science and Visionary Fiction book group.
And help us choose our spring list, from among these and other titles under consideration:
- NK Jemisin, The Stone Sky
- Paul Lynch, Prophet Song (2023 Booker Prize)
- Cory Doctorow, the lost cause
- Annalee Newitz, The Terraformers
- NNedi Okorafor, Death of the Author
- Jeff VanderMeer, Annihilation
