Omschrijving

Venturing to Worlds Unknown
Science fiction writers are our modern seers of sorts. Creating worlds that are not our own, they inspire us to look beyond and imagine "what if?" The summer edition of An Unexpected Journal explores the impact these world builders have had on our culture.

From the classic science fiction book The First Men in the Moon to modern sci-fi favorites from Brandon Sanderson, explore the what these stories say about us as a society and individually.
