Anotácia knihy

Arab Science Fiction is largely unknown internationally, for this reason, Arabilious would like to make you discover nine short stories written by authors coming from Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria. The recurring themes of the stories include the effects of new technologies on Arab society, deeply rooted in community life and far from Western individualism, as well as anxiety about the devastation produced by climate emergency or nostalgia for a past which, although difficult and troubled, it is still able to ensure cultural roots and identity to the characters.
The stories included in Arabilious are therefore full of melancholy, social tensions derived from political conflicts, and the need to distance themselves from the categories and clichés formulated by the West. All these themes mix with the rich literary tradition of the Arab peoples and their past as colonized communities to propose nine futuristic scenarios, alternatives to the existing reality.
