EXPLORING MORAL RESPONSIBILITY IN SCI-FI & DYSTOPIA – FICTION
Alex Foster’s Circular Motion is a story of love, despair, and two people’s search for belonging in a world literally spinning out of control. Tanner escapes his tiny Alaskan hometown for a job at CWC, which is revolutionizing global travel, while outcast Winnie joins teen activists blaming CWC for Earth’s acceleration. As days shorten and storms rage, their lives spiral toward each other in a rapidly changing world. Bruce Holsinger’s Culpability: A Novel is a suspenseful family drama about moral responsibility in the age of AI. When a family’s autonomous minivan collides with an oncoming car, each member of the family harbors a secret, implicating them in the crash. As they recuperate, patriarch Noah tries to hold the family together as a seemingly routine police investigation becomes jeopardizing. In Yiming Ma’s These Memories Do Not Belong to Us: A Constellation Novel, every citizen in the far-off future Qin Empire carries a Mindbank, recording and transmitting memories in a system of “Memory Capitalism.” When his mother dies, an unnamed narrator inherits her collection of banned memories – stories of activists, wrestlers, and dreamers erased by power.
