Speculative Fiction

[close] A book club for Sydneysiders (Australia) who love sci-fi and speculative fiction. If enough people and there's interest I'll organise an in-person meetup.

[close] The NeoSciFi Collective is a resistance network of writers, artists, filmmakers, educators, theorists, coders, readers, and cultural disruptors committed to dismantling the spectacle-driven science fiction industry and reimagining the future as a site of philosophical, political, and aesthetic possibility. Purpose of the Group To activate the ideas in the NeoSciFi Manifesto by creating a decentralized movement that: 1) Unearths lost or marginalized futures through artistic and philosophical excavation 2) Builds platforms and tools for producing and distributing counter-science fiction 3) Fosters critical literacy and resistance to spectacle among readers, students, and creators 4) Designs new cultural apparatuses outside the mainstream entertainment economy.

We cover both new releases and older publications, and nominate at least one group read each month. Founded in 2018 by Rachel Cordasco of www.sfintranslation.com, we're working on becoming a more active, participatory group as of autumn 2020. Come read with us! :)
