The front of a postcard with an image of the cover of The Broadview Anthology of Science Fiction The back of the postcard, which reads: "’[A]n impressive mix of must-read classics, forgotten treasures, and vital modern works.’ - Nancee Reeves, University of Georgia The Broadview Anthology of Science Fiction takes a "broad view" of science fiction in terms of its histories, themes, forms, and communities. Covering over two hundred years, the anthology focuses on short fiction but also includes comic strips, images, and speculative poetry. It also recognizes the wide range of futurist and SF traditions, including Afrofuturism, Indigenous Futurisms, Feminist SF, and more. Fully annotated with information about authors and texts as well as full explanatory notes, the anthology also includes an introduction that discusses the many competing definitions of-and methods of studying-science fiction and offers an historical and cultural overview of the genre.

Spotlight: #2025IgnyteAwards

Huge congratulations to African writers recognised at @theignyteawards.bsky.social, which continue to celebrate excellence in speculative fiction!
Digital graphic set in a purple background with wavy line patterns. At the centre, inside a circular frame, bold text reads “Spotlight: African Writers Excel at Ignyte Awards 2025.” The #2025IgnyteAwards logo appears in the center over an illustration of a person surrounded by flames. The WTBAP logo appears at the top, and a website link is placed at the bottom. The overall design highlights a spotlight theme. Purple textured background with the heading “African Writers Excel at the 20205 Ignyte Awards” on a blue banner. The main text reads: The winners of the 2025 Ignyte Awards, presented by FIYAH Literary Magazine, were announced earlier this month. Several African writers were among those celebrated across major categories, earning multiple wins and nominations. Their strong presence underscores the continent’s growing influence in global speculative fiction. Among the winners were Kenyan writer Shingai Njeri Kagunda, who won Outstanding Novelette for We Who Will Not Die, Nigerian writer Suyi Davies Okungbowa, who won Outstanding Novella for Lost Ark Dreaming and Nigerian poet Fasasi Ridwan, who took home Outstanding Speculative Poetry for Reliving: Post Trauma of the Lekki Tollgate Massacre. The Outstanding Creative Nonfiction award went to Afro-Centered Futurisms in Our Speculative Fiction, edited by Eugen Bacon (Tanzania/Australia). The collection features works by Aline-Mwezi Niyonsenga (Rwanda), Cheryl S. Ntumy (Ghana), Dilman Dila (Uganda), Nerine Dorman (South Africa), Nuzo Onoh (Nigeria), Shingai Njeri Kagunda (Kenya), Stephen Embleton (South Africa), Tobi Ogundiran (Nigeria) and Xan van Rooyen (South Africa).

Because I am so presumptuous to have coined a term . . . A fan of both Indigenous Futurisms and a screenwriter, actress, & producer dedicated to making Westerns where women don’t exist merely to be saved, killed, kidnapped, or raped by men, I decided to merge the two for my first novel. 🫰🏼

found out 1 of my comics has been in a gallery at a university since july and it has a description full of errors despite them having the comic that plainly states the correct info. never got an email about my work being displayed nor asked to go over the description to make sure its accurate
🫠
an exhibit featuring Indigenous comics one of them being mine with an extremely wrong description of my main character's name and what her suit symbolizes. Shaggy, Kayla (Diné/Navajo descendant). Sixth World. A Triple Jeopardy Production, 2017. Courtesy of Lee Francis IV, Ph.D. Set in a future shaped by ecological collapse, the Sixth World series follows Humeyestewa, a young Diné (Navajo Nation) woman navigating personal transformation, interplanetary colonization, and authoritarian regimes on Mars. In the first issue, we learn her grandmother’s secret–a powerful wolf-like exo-suit bequeathed to Humeyestewa. The series includes Diné language, philosophical stories, and futurisms (the “sixth world” being a world of the future). Shaggy’s raw, expressive art style reinforces the story’s visceral and personal tone.

yeah and many of these MOOC bros are also ADMINISTRATORS who've somehow moved UP in the hierarchy since their failed predictions & technofetishist futurisms turned into (as they were always destined to be) complete failures. we have an entire new institute here dedicated to continuing the project!

BEYOND THE GLITTERING WORLD got a starred review in Publishers Weekly!!!! INDIGENOUS FUTURISMS!!!!
An image with the cover of Beyond the Glittering World and the starred review: “ This beautiful anthology of poetry and prose by contemporary Native American writers includes traditional motifs along with works of stark feminism and hopeful futurism. The poem “The Rhythm of Becoming” by Dominique Daye Hunter evokes the cadence of oral storytelling (one quatrain begins, “Ni:ska learns the old songs,” followed by the line “She learns the old songs,” which is then repeated twice). A.J. Eversole’s appealing and mischievous story “Dilasulo Walks” is narrated by a pair of moccasins on display in a Dallas museum. The moccasins have a conversation with a Native artist visiting the museum, with whom they agree that “art should be admired, but shoes should be worn,” prompting the artist to walk out with them on her feet. Arielle Twist laments violence against Indigenous women in the poem “In the beginning, it’s just you and me against the world,” in which a daughter worries about how “moms can go missing and die.” In Moniquill Blackgoose’s visionary “Sky Woman Rising: A Memoir,” a storyteller tells a group of children in the 2050s about how their people built the Sky New World, explaining that while many of them left Earth for the utopia, some stayed behind to “preserve and restore” their ancestral land, in the hope that someday they can all return. Readers will find a wide assortment of riches on offer here. (Nov.)”

Why is every single one of these stupid, stupid fascist futurisms basically the plot of a PKD work where the moral was unambiguously "yeah, don't do that" ?
