Welcome to /c/ScienceFiction
December book club canceled. Short stories instead!
We are a community for discussing all things Science Fiction. We want this to be a place for members to discuss and share everything they love about Science Fiction, whether that be books, movies, TV shows and more. Please feel free to take part and help our community grow.
I'd love to read some non-Western sci-fi! I read a Soviet short story once that was decent, bar the required political messaging.
Check out novels written by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky! Roadside Picnic is my favorite, and spurred the creation of the STALKER video game franchise.
Thank you, I shall.
Do you have the name in mind, by chance. Re: political message: I publish all kind of writers, from the left to the right, so it doesn't matter
Oh I think politics are often an important part of sci-fi stories, but this was something like "Venus is great, but it's not as great as the people's glorious Socialist Utopia, where the workers rule and those imperialist pig dogs in the west have no power to corrupt us!" whose inclusion felt like it was mandated by a Kommisar. I don't recall and can't find the story I am thinking of, sorry.
