Books on my Cat, part 2
(Sci-Fi for Beginners Edition)
What if…
What if everyone read speculative fiction?
I think everyone can learn to enjoy fiction that asks ‘what if?’ Even my cat.
As a part two in this popular series, here is a non exhaustive list of science fiction books to get even the most resistant reader intrigued:
What if women were forcibly assigned to produce children for the ruling class of a totalitarian patriarchy?
What if a WW2 prisoner of war became unstuck in time?
What if the Earth was destroyed by a race of bureaucratic aliens (who write terrible poetry) to make way for an intergalactic bypass?
What if a diplomatic mission to a winter-bound, gender-fluid planet proves to be more culturally mystifying than expected?
What if the complexities of intergalactic travel lead to war between humans and aliens that lasts for millenia?
What if the previously-ignored Earth sent a signal into space that shows our location?
What if the king of ‘what if’ wrote short stories investigating everything from Mars to predicting murder to AI?
What if the story of someone’s life was told in reverse from death to birth?
What if a pizza delivery guy is given a weapon in the metaverse that can hurt people in real life?
