Fifty fantasy & science fiction works that socialists should read. Cool list—if a bit questionable sometimes. (Beloved? Really?) Perhaps not surprisingly, this is all very contiguous with my exam lists. A few notable omissions, off the top of my head: John Brunner's ecopocalyptic The Sheep Look Up (1972), which I've been meaning to blog about for months now; the incomparable Samuel Delany's Triton (1976), likewise; Joanna Russ's The Female Man (1975); and, most unforgivably, Olaf Stapledon's Star Maker (1937), which I've blogged about once or twice and which I must insist again is very, very good.

See also: Portable Learner's reading list for time travel and alternate history, in which I must say I am also surprisingly well-read.

That pun is fully intended.
