  4. #CallForPapers: Current Research in #SpeculativeFiction

    Whether it is #ScienceFiction, #Fantasy, or #Horror, speculative fiction allows us to imagine new worlds, for authors and readers to fully engage their imaginations with what is beyond our current capabilities or comprehension. We build up Earth in beauty and destruction. We think of distant new planets or dimensions, radical and fantastical species, and find that even in the darkest dystopias there is something to learn. For CRSF’s 14th year, this #hybrid offline/ #OnlineEvent seeks to generate interdisciplinary discussions of growth in speculative fiction, exploring the theme in its many different guises.

  9. Many thanks to The Honorable Kavura of #StarPodLog for this in-depth review of our anthology STAR TREK: ESSAYS EXPLORING THE FINAL FRONTIER! :vulcan_hmn_g1:

    “I found each essay to be extremely informative and thought-provoking, much in the spirit of Star Trek itself…. This is the type of book that celebrates the best of what Star Trek has to offer: compelling issues about people, history, and culture.”
