Kalicalypse: Subcontinental Science Fiction - Fantascienza dal subcontinente (English / Italian)
Indrapramit Das, Trishna Basak, Yudhanjaya Wijeratne, Shweta Taneja, Navin Weeraratne, Rupsa Dey, Haris Durrani, Salik Shah, Kehkashan Khalid
DUAL LANGUAGE EDITION ENGLISH - ITALIAN
Kalicalypse brings together recent stories of talented SF writers from Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh and India, widening the scope of the previous Future Fiction volume Avatar.
The stories deal with crucial issues for understanding the development of the subcontinent and therefore of a large slice of the world population: fascinating and disturbing visions at the same time, such as the ethics of mind-uploading in an aging population, the exploitation of mythic archetypes in VR by the powerful Shiva corporation, the biopolitics of fertility for which a daughter that bleeds becomes a valuable asset in The Fertile Market, the migration of climate change refugees to Edge-of-Space platforms and the consequences of prosthetics memory, and terraforming by nanobots for the amelioration of the Earth, and the challenges facing those who are operating junk-ships in space.
"Speculative thinking underlies all gestures of critical thought. What lies at the other side of the Kalicalypse? Many new worlds? Kalicalypse is the plurality we inhabit." - Bodhisattva Chattopadhyay
