The result: contemporary Palestinian writers offering their own spin on the science fiction and fantasy genre.</em></p>\n<p><em>Covering a range of approaches – from SF noir, to nightmarish dystopia, to high-tech farce – these stories use the blank canvas of the future to reimagine the Palestinian experience today. Along the way, we encounter drone swarms, digital uprisings, time-bending VR, peace treaties that span parallel universes, and even a Palestinian superhero, in the first anthology of science fiction from Palestine.</em></p>\n<p><em>Hear one of the contributors to this groundbreaking new collection of science-fiction stories, British Palestinian writer, Selma Dabbagh and the editor, Basma Ghalayini, as they discuss an anthology that uses possible futures as a vehicle for exploring the politics of the present.</em></p>\n<p><em>Hosted by Academics for Palestine and the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign</em><em>.</em></p></blockquote>\n<p><strong>Disclaimer:</strong> The views expressed in this podcast reflect the opinions of the speaker(s) <em>only</em> and do not reflect the views of the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign unless otherwise explicitly stated.</p>","author_name":"Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign"}
