The War in the Air
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The War in the Air is a novel by H. G. Wells, written in 1907, serialized and published in 1908 in the Pall Mall Magazine. Like many of Wells's works, it is notable for its prophetic ideas, images, and concepts, in this case, the use of the aircraft for the purpose of warfare and the coming of World War I. The novel's hero is Bert Smallways, a forward-thinking young man, a "kind of bicycle engineer of the let's-have-a-look-at-it and enamel chipping variety." Wells envisions a world in which China and Japan form a "Confederation of Eastern Asia"; Germany is aggressive and thrusting; and the United States is a country torn apart "in violent conflict between Federal and State governments upon the question of universal service in a defensive militia." The British Empire is a more pacific power, whose possessions are scattered across the globe, and distracted by "insurrectionary movements in Ireland and among all its Subject Races.

Breaking the World
Black Insecurity and the Horizons of Speculative Fiction“Mann brilliantly illuminates worldbreaking as a Black feminist practice of refusal. Reading across speculative fiction, comics, film and critical theory, Mann illuminates how Black science fiction breaks the world that is breaking us. A major intervention in Black feminist literary studies that gives us a strikingly rich history of the present, Breaking the World redefines the stakes of speculation and critique.”—Erica R. Edwards, author of The Other Side of Terror: Black Women and the Culture of US Empire“Breaking the World departs from science fiction and cultural criticism concerned with ‘worldbuilding’ to instead analyze ‘worldbreaking’ as a critical and sometimes dystopian response to security discourse. From biopolitics to necropolitics, security emerges as an objective of governmentality under late capitalism that is preoccupied with racialized and gendered/sexual subjection. The role of Blackness under this order makes Black insecurity a valuable source from which to speculate alternative ways of knowing and being.”—andré carrington, author of Audiofuturism: Science Fiction Radio Drama and the Black Fantastic Imagination
