![]() ![]() The novel’s arguments come to rather glorious light through that process of struggle. There is hope, though, and a fight to be fought. Newitz balances the terrors of living as a woman under patriarchy with the blistering, relentless, revolutionary possibilities of collective action. The portions of the novel set at the Chicago Midway in 1893 are some of the most vibrant in their grappling with the problems of activism. Gender, class, race, ethnicity, and ability are all influences on a given individual’s approach and understanding. The Future of Another Timeline is multifaceted and unbelievably thorough in representing resistance. Newitz’s comprehensively intersectional engagements with feminist activism are made real. The book is a good book, in terms of craft and execution, but it’s also a fucking important book-an urgent book, a clear-seeing book, a book with ethics to argue as well as the passion to do so. The Future of Another Timeline is an absolute tour de force that wholeheartedly embraces the radical potential science fiction holds as a political genre. ![]()
