Science Fiction Stories

Description: Science fiction has always been experimental in its technique as well as in its criticism of social, psychological, and scientific definitions of selfhood. Illuminae is told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents — including emails, maps, files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more. Set in 2575, this is the story of teenage colonist Kady Grant and her fighter pilot ex-partner Ezra Mason. The Man in the High Castle is a classic sci-fi story where slavery is legal once again in 1962 America. Both books offer a haunting vision of the past and future as a nightmare, reminding us all of the viability of these alternative realities.
