Welcome to our year-long exploration of New Wave Science Fiction! This season, we delve into a transformative era of sci-fi that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, characterised by its literary experimentation and focus on social and psychological themes. Unlike traditional sci-fi, New Wave authors pushed boundaries, exploring topics like gender, politics, and human consciousness, while adding political themes that admittedly alienated many of their existing readers at the time. Our selection of 8 groundbreaking books spans the socio-political spectrum, offering a wide range of perspectives and thought-provoking narratives. Join us as we journey through these visionary works and engage in discussions that challenged and inspired then and now.
