  • Science Fiction
    Science Fiction The Lives of Tao by Wesley Chu When out-of-shape IT technician Roen Tan woke up and started hearing voices in his head, he naturally assumed he was losing it. He wasn’t. He now has a passenger in his brain – an ancient alien life-form called Tao, whose race crash-landed on Earth before the first fish crawled out of the oceans. Now split into two opposing factions – the peace-loving, but under-represented Prophus, and the savage, powerful Genjix – the aliens have been in a state of civil war for centuries. Both sides are searching for a way off-planet, and the Genjix will sacrifice the entire human race, if that’s what it takes. Meanwhile, Roen is having to train to be the ultimate secret agent. Like that’s going to end up well… 2014 YALSA Alex Award winner The Testing (The Testing Trilogy Series #1) by Joelle Charbonneau It’s graduation day for sixteen-year-old Malencia Vale, and the entire Five Lakes Colony (the former Great Lakes) is celebrating. All Cia can think about—hope for— is whether she’ll be chosen for The Testing, a United Commonwealth program that selects the best and brightest new graduates to become possible leaders of the slowly revitalizing post-war civiliZation. When Cia is chosen, her father finally tells her about his own nightmarish half-memories of The Testing. Armed with his dire warnings (”Cia, trust no one”), she bravely heads off to Tosu City, far away from friends and family, perhaps forever. Danger, romance—and sheer terror—await.

  • The Rise of Science Fiction from Pulp Mags to Cyberpunk, Fiction-From-Pulp-Mags-To-Cyberpunk-E00f6efdcab0
    1 The Rise of Science Fiction from Pulp Mags to Cyberpunk, https://electricliterature.com/the-rise-of-science- fiction-from-pulp-mags-to-cyberpunk-e00f6efdcab0 Jeff VanderMeer Dec 22, 2016 The Rise of Science Fiction from Pulp Mags to Cyberpunk Ann and Jeff VanderMeer break down Sci-Fi’s many eras, icons and offshoots — from Jules Verne to William Gibson and beyond Things to Come, 1936. This wide-ranging exploration of the impulses, movements, and unique voices in twentieth century science fiction originally appeared as the introduction to this year’s The Big Book of 2 The Rise of Science Fiction from Pulp Mags to Cyberpunk, https://electricliterature.com/the-rise-of-science- fiction-from-pulp-mags-to-cyberpunk-e00f6efdcab0 Science Fiction from Vintage Books. Ann and Jeff VanderMeer’s next project will be The Big Book of Classic Fantasy, also from Vintage. Since the days of Mary Shelley, Jules Verne, and H. G. Wells, science fiction has not just helped define and shape the course of literature but reached well beyond fictional realms to influence our perspectives on culture, science, and technology. Ideas like electric cars, space travel, and forms of advanced communication comparable to today’s cell phone all first found their way into the public’s awareness through science fiction. In stories like Alicia Yáñez Cossío’s “The IWM 100” from the 1970s you can even find a clear prediction of Information Age giants like Google — and when Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, the event was a very real culmination of a yearning already expressed through science fiction for many decades.
