The more I think about this, the more I believe it is praxis. We are so frequently presented with visions of the future through SciFi, but often in the form of a warning to inform the present.

However, one of the things we often complain about is the inability of others to visualize a functioning perspective of the future.

What if, instead of designing dysfunctional futures, we occasionally splurged into utopian brilliance and wish fulfillment? Without the projection of our current problems?

@revoluciana There's conflict in them, but it isn't the centerpiece...

#BeckyChambers stories are really wonderful, lovely stories with queer characters, interacting different cultures, and some continuity if that's another thing that you enjoy. (One of the tertiary chars from book 1 has their backstory explained in book 2, which is the continuing story of one of the secondary characters from book 1...but you can enjoy book 2 without reading book 1.)

I'd love to see any of them as movies.
