SUMMARY:Reading Science Fiction Politically - Midterms Edition
DESCRIPTION:Next on June 29\, 5-6:30 pm ET \nReading Science Fiction Politically\, Midterms edition explores climate crisis\, artificial intelligence in politics\, a reawakened Klan\, and more by way of four recent novels and selected short stories. Have  you noticed that\, as contemporary politics veers into the fantastical\, more writers have embraced the fantastical\, speculative\, visionary\, horror to explore politics realistically. \nIf that contradiction intrigues you\, we welcome you to our twice-a-month reading group. Jump in any time to sample the best of socially-conscious and political literature traditionally called science fiction. We read it to get ready for this year’s elections\, envision the futures we seek and empower our commitments\, enliven our reflection\, and energize our communities. \nWe have chosen for this summer and fall\, \n\nThe Terraformers\, Annalee Newitz\nInfomocracy\, Malka Ann Older\nForfeiture\, JP Nebra\nRing Shout\, by P. Djèlí Clark\nWe Will Rise Again: Speculative Stories and Essays on Protest\, Resistance\, and Hope\, edited by Malka Older\, Annalee Newitz and Karen Lord (continuing to read from this new anthology.
