Unlocking the Future: The Urban Imagination in Contemporary Chinese Science Fiction
by Luo XiaomingThe book highlights the urban imagination in contemporary Chinese science fiction, in order to assess the capacity of Chinese society to conceive of the future. The author argues that ‘the future’ is a set of directional and normative ideas that forms the basis of the entire social mobilization mechanism in China, while the capacity to imagine the future is likely to be produced in response to the present challenges. By discussing the urban space, the reconstruction of time, the infrastructure, and concepts of the 'urban-rural' and civilization in contemporary Chinese science fiction, she demonstrates how contemporary Chinese sci-fi may offer potential solutions to ways of ‘unlocking’ the future. In addition, she also points out the limitations of Chinese society’s imaginative vision of the future. The book will be of interest to scholars and postgraduate students of modern Chinese literature, science fiction studies, urban studies, or cultural studies.

Uranians: Stories
by Theodore McCombs"Playful and provocative . . . McCombs&’s mix of heart and zany ideas is often reminiscent of George Saunders. Readers will find plenty of earthy and unearthly delights."—Publishers Weekly&“I have been waiting for this sumptuous, prismatic collection for literal years. Theodore McCombs is a poet of queer pasts, presents, and futures, and Uranians is a formidable debut.&”—Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other PartiesAt the end of the Victorian era, a handful of public intellectuals advocated for tolerance of the &“Uranian&”—a man who loved other men. Some went so far as to propose that these &“intermediate sexes&” might, in fact, constitute a totally different species, even serve as intrepid guides in our march toward an uncertain future.The five speculative stories in Theodore McCombs&’s kaleidoscopic collection span several possible worlds, teasing the boundaries between coexisting realities and taking up the question of queer difference from one surprising vantage after another. In &“Toward a Theory of Alternative Lifestyles,&” a heartbroken gay man waits in line at an exclusive Berlin rave promising visions of parallel lives across the multiverse. In &“Six Hangings in the Land of Unkillable Women,&” at the turn of an alternate 20th century, a policeman&’s wife feels that if you want an execution done right, you just have to do it yourself. And in the operatic novella &“Uranians,&” an expedition of queer artists, scientists, and one trans priest embark on a lifelong interplanetary voyage that requires them to renegotiate their connections to a remote and hostile Earth, while keeping their ship&’s biome—and each other—alive. Each story unfolds with the depth and complexity of an entire universe; each is inhabited by characters learning to divest from a society that has marked and rejected them. Discerning which dreams of Western civilization to hold fast to and which to leave behind, these outsiders set their gazes on new horizons and prepare for the changes to come. Arch but tender, clear-eyed and compassionate, Uranians brilliantly illustrates the vital role that queerness plays in every possible version of our world.
Urban Arcane
by Ruth HansonIn a modern, magical New York City, tensions between those with and those without Magickal ability are constant. The Templar Order for National Organization, or TONO, was established years ago as a special task force to keep paranormally gifted citizens in line. Magi -- especially those in bigger cities -- live under the thumb of the government. Special curfews, taxes, laws and rules are enforced with impunity, and for Magi with “illegal” abilities, like Kasey, the price of freedom could be too steep to pay.As a low-wage, part-time worker in the heart of the city, Kasey and his Magi friends tend keep to themselves. One night, the group goes out to enjoy a night at a new bar, when Kasey meets a dashing and mysterious stranger named Logan. He thinks nothing of it until, the morning after, his friend Jesse has gone missing. Just as he and the others start to worry, Logan walks back into his life, revealing that he is in fact a Templar agent who may be involved with Jesse’s disappearance. And when Logan discovers that Kasey has the power to hypnotize people at will, Logan makes Kasey a deal with the devil: Help Logan get to the bottom of his case and bring Jesse home safe, or face serious prison time for illegal Charm Magick.Kasey takes the deal, but it’s not as easy as a handshake. Stuck together for days on end, Kasey and Logan butt heads almost instantly. Both are stubborn, strong willed, and quick with a snarky remark. Yet as danger grows, and certain secrets unfold, their one chance at salvation might be to cling to each other and hang on for dear life.
Uro: En paranormal kjærlighetsroman (Profanebiblioteket - Bok to - #2)
by J. B TrepagnierJeg hater å tape, og det virker som om jeg er i en serie av nederlag. Maleriet til Dorian Gray lå aldri i hvelvet til biblioteket. Vi har for øyeblikket null ide på hvor den er, og den eneste personen som kan spore det opp blir sannsynligvis holdet som gissel på en lagringsplass med alle slags forbannede gjenstander. Kuken til Balthazar er fortsatt forbannet, og det er ingen enkel måte å fjerne den på. Jeg har allerede gjort det verre en gang. Jeg håper den ikke faller av denne gangen. Jeg var helt i mot å gifte meg med Reyson da han våknet og kunngjorde at jeg ville bli hans nye kone, men besluttsomheten min svekkes... Jeg begynner å bry meg om den jævla guden. De eneste som vet hvor maleriet til Dorian er, er Dorian og demonmesteren til Bram. Selv om vi finner Dorian, så kan vi ikke drepe ham uten maleriet hans. Jeg vet bedre enn noen at når en heks virkelig ikke vil at du skal rote i tingene deres, så er utfallet vanligvis dødelig. Jeg forstår at vi trenger demonmesteren, men siden vi alle risikerer livene våre for å få ham ut av den fellen, bør han gi Bram friheten sin, fordi jeg trives å ha den Helveteshunden i nærheten. Jeg begynner å bry meg om alle disse folkene som har krasjet inn i livet mitt og biblioteket mitt, men jeg savner de vanlige dagene der jeg hjalp med forbannelser, trylleformler og territoriale uenigheter. Jeg vil gjerne forsvinne inn i erotikkavdelingen vår en liten stund og late som om Dorian Gray ikke samler en hær av overnaturlige vesener.
