Book #2 in my banned books series:
The Handmaid’s Tale
Some stories are banned because they’re inappropriate.
Others are banned because they’re too honest.
This one?
It forces you to sit with uncomfortable questions about power, control, and autonomy.
And that’s exactly why I’m reading it.

Writing a Utopian Horror Novel or Screenplay - David Somerfleck | Science Fiction Author
Writing a utopian horror novel or screenplay shouldn't be terrifying if you have clear ideas as to direction, theme, character arc, and an overall guiding purpose. Here's how I'd theoretically approach the concept from giddyup and some ideas for other writers and authors.
Utopian Dystopias in Literature: When the Perfect World Isn't
https://boldly.blue/utopian-dystopias-in-literature/
The most disturbing dystopias are the ones that believe they are utopias — the societies that have convinced themselves their oppression is salvation. This post traces the literary tradition of the utopia that turns out to be something else entirely.

Utopian Dystopias in Literature - David Somerfleck | Science Fiction Author
Thomas More invented the word utopia knowing it meant no place. Huxley's Brave New World is a society that works perfectly — and is therefore the most complete dystopia in the canon. From More to Skinner to Le Guin and Somerfleck's One Grain of Sand, this post examines the literature that builds paradise and horror from the same blueprints.

American Nightmares: The Near-Future Dystopia as Political Warning, from Bradbury to Butler to the Present - David Somerfleck | Science Fiction Author
A definitive guide to the American political dystopia — from Fahrenheit 451's burning books to Octavia Butler's eerily prescient 2024, Philip K. Dick's manufactured realities, Ursula Le Guin's anarchist ambiguity, and N.K. Jemisin's enslaved geological workers. Why these five writers share a single tradition, and what that tradition demands of the reader.

Why I Chose 2096 for My Dystopian Science Fiction Trilogy - David Somerfleck | Science Fiction Author
Why 2096? The year is not arbitrary — it is load-bearing. A personal essay on the distance, symbolism, and storytelling logic that made 2096 the only possible home for the Shards of a Shattered Sky trilogy.
