Sunday afternoon: reading up and taking notes on New Space Opera from the book Science Fiction, New Space Opera, and Neoliberal Globalism: Nostalgia for Infinity by Jerome Winter (so happy I was able to get this one through interlibrary loan!)

It's a movement of writers writing explicitly political space opera that deconstructs tropes from about the 80s through the 00s, including Iain M. Banks, Gwyneth Jones, Ken MacLeod, Alistair Reynolds and others! I may quote a bit if I can find anything short enough for a tweet :)

This bit of Ian Banks' "Look to Windward" has never failed to give me chills.
