      My #PhDLife relaxation reading... ...is this tedious post-apocalyptic (1949, pandemic not nuclear) novel. It is...not good...but is an excellent example of how the genre is articulated to really problematic & violent imaginaries of survival, race, and gender.pic.twitter.com/i2Sac3etzJ

      Well. That’s some 5 hours of my life I’ll never get back & some added emotional trauma in the name of research. Not worth the read unless you have a A SERIOUS INTEREST in the post-apocalyptic as a genre or something. Ideally, you should get paid to read it, if you have to.pic.twitter.com/4gY987Mz9a

      if you want some more WTF post-apocalyptic Cold War fiction that is not (strictly) nuclear, check out "The Death of Grass" (1956)... it's about famine (a rare one that is), and is more WTF than you'd expect. I read it to see if it was worth assigning to students and decided nyet

      Replying to @wellerstein @NuclearAnthro

      Also on on the post-apocalyptic WTF reading list is Robert Heinlein's "Farnham's Freehold" (1964). A "sordid, alpha-male fantasy," writes @daxe (https://medium.com/war-is-boring/how-not-to-write-about-atomic-war-e1632a6a19e8 …). "...[A]n anti-racist novel only a Klansman could love," writes @HeerJeet (https://newrepublic.com/article/118048/william-pattersons-robert-heinlein-biography-hagiography?source=post_page--------------------------- …).

      my comment about Heinlein is always, he could imagine countless fantastical worlds and futures, but he couldn't imagine one in which women had ideas of their own

      Replying to @wellerstein @AtomicAnalyst and

      I think maybe another way to put it, in line with @effjayem's work, is that Heinlein tried to imagine a world where women were equal but he wasn't fully successful, in part due to limits of his imagine. It's true that his women (like his men) were often sock-puppets.

          And then there is The Star Beast in which Johnny is being pushed around by every single woman in his life, including the Star Beast herself (sorry, spoiler). Wyo who recruits Manny to her revolution ((Moon is a Harsh Mistress) & the main character in Delilah & the Space Rigger.

          The funny thing about Heinlein and sexism is that the accusations come from male critics. It’s as if they don’t recognise women having opinions! (Now race and Heinlein is a whole other barrel of fish.)

          I don't claim to have read his entire back catalog. But I think you have to agree that he has some fairly one-dimensional female characters in many of his most popular books (SIASL, ST, etc.)?
