Hopepunk 

Le Label 619 a encore frappé ! Après les excellents Hoka Hey, Midnight Order et Short Story, une nouvelle pépite vient de débarquer en librairie. Avec Frontier, Guillaume Singelin prouve qu'il joue définitivement dans la cour des grands. Cet excellent roman graphique mêle planet opera, space opera et récits intimistes. Dans ce roman graphique on se rapproche du fameux hopepunk, sous-genre de la science-fiction théorisé par l'autrice américaine Alexandra Rowland en 2017. Il y a de l'espoir dans cet album qui narre l'émancipation de trois personnages à travers les étoiles. On a été littéralement emballé par les couleurs, les dessins et ce scénario qui n’oublie pas de raconter une chouette aventure intérieure. Frontier devrait réjouir les amateurs de science-fiction qui cherche un BD qui sort vraiment de l'ordinateur. 

In this episode, Alan and Diane chat with author, Martha Wells, about Neurodiversity, writing action scenes, the origins of ART (the sentient spaceship), developing humor in writing, and Martha's new book.

From being the preserve of a handful of American and British authors in the late-20th century, science fiction (SF) today is a global phenomenon. From Afrofuturism to the popular Chinese Science Fiction of Cixxin Liu, Hao Jingfeng and others, writers, editors, and readers around the world are turning to the genre to make sense of our world and our futures. The global character of contemporary SF is matched by the profusion of sub-genres that have come to inhabit it: climate fiction (or “cli-fi”) and “hopepunk” are just two of the many approaches to science fiction that respond to our present-day conditions.

Where and how does English-language Indian SF fit into this world? A look at some of recent works suggests that climate change, political extremism, the legacies of colonialism, and the overwhelming role of technology are some of the themes that have exercised the imagination of Indian SF writers. Do these themes run together to create something that is identifiably Indian SF? Should there be? And how are Indian SF writers and readers engaging with contemporary global SF? These are some of the questions this panel of authors and science fiction enthusiasts, Gautam Bhatia, Lavanya Lakshminarayan, TG Shenoy and Shrabonti Bagchi discusses.
