An Optimistic Look At The Apocalypse
Science-fiction is a genre that imagines the future. It doesn\u2019t necessarily predict the future (after all, where are flying cars?), but it grapples with the technological and societal changes happening today to better understand our world and where it\u2019s heading.
\n\nSo, what does it mean when so much of our most popular science-fiction - The Handmaid\u2019s Tale, The Walking Dead, and The Hunger Games - present bleak, depressing futures? Cory Doctorow might just have an answer. He\u2019s a blogger, writer, activist, and author of the new book \u201cWalkaway,\u201d an optimistic disaster novel.
