#I love me some sci fi where your friends and found family are aliens#something something queer experience#But also#Love me some archaeology and ancient civilizations#Also really into 80s retro futurism#give me that good synthwave and sovietwave music#Also a big fan of people. Just people in general. I love human connections

@thefloatingstone SO for retro futurism and synthwave... CELESTIAL by M.D. Lachlan is set in an alternate space race, and the cover (nominated for Best Cover at this year's Kitschies!) is S T U N N I N G:

Makes me froth at the mouth every time I see it. It's set in the 70s, so slightly pre-synth, but STILL.

If you haven't read any of Pat Cadigan's stuff - SYNNERS and FOOLS are both part of our SFMW - she is one of the originators of the cyberpunk movement, and she is steeped in 80s cyber-futurism. We also have Philip K. Dick's DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP and William GIBSON'S NEUROMANCER which to me have a lot of 80s synth-neon-futurism ~vibes~. Something which is more Soviet themed, ROADSIDE PICNIC by the Strugatsky brothers, which was made into the film STALKER. It's set in a town beside a forbidden area known as the 'Zone', in which alien artifacts can be found, but unearthly forces are warping the world. It follows a man who quests into the Zone for contraband, and how it impacts his life.

In a spin on the ancient cultures and archaeology for SF: REVELATION SPACE by Alastair Reynolds is a space society inhabiting and exploring a world left by a long-dead alien species; as does GATEWAY by Frederik Pohl, where people can bid for a chance to fly in a space capsule left by a more sophisticated aliens culture, but they don't know how to fly them, or where they will be taken. It could be to a better life, or to certain death.

SEVEN DEVILS and SEVEN MERCIES by L.R. Lam and Elizabeth May are peak Queer Found Family experience, although no aliens feature in it. Also featured: Everyone On This Spaceship Is Gay, Token Straight Man, and Overthrowing The Government Is The Sexy Thing To Do.

The peak Found Family Are Aliens books are obviously Becky Chambers' Wayfarer series, which aren't published by us but dang they're fab. I'll keep pondering to see if I can think of any others!

General books about People Actually Being Not Bad Really and Human Connections (such a wholesome tag there, btw, it gave me warm fuzzies), obviously Peter S. Beagle can't be overlooked. In particular, we are reissuing A FINE AND PRIVATE PLACE later this year (will queue up the cover to share later because it's lovely) which is about mortality, humanity and connections, and it's just gorgeous.

A totally different vibe, but also potentially fun, is the very trippy THE THIS by Adam Roberts, which starts with the idea that human life is an endless cycle, then proposes a social media network that is implanted directly into your skull, and then things escalate, and then we have alien time war.

There's also HOPELAND by Ian McDonald, which explores a range of ideas of human connection, both bad and good, through the lenses of different relationships, world cultures, and social structures, all against the backdrop of a changing, struggling climate.

EVENT

Santa Fe Music Week

Now in its second year, the City of Santa Fe has designated August 23–31 Santa Fe Music Week (SFMW).

SFMW opens with the Platinum Music Awards, August 23 at the Lensic. A program of the State of New Mexico, the third group of recipients come from the worlds of classical, jazz, mariachi, Native, and New Mexico folk. Concerts at The Santa Fe Opera with Ringo Starr (sold out) and Boz Scaggs are lined up for August 25 and 27. Hard choices on Sunday afternoon: Branden and James are at the Lensic and the Santa Fe Soul Festival presents God’s House Women’s Choir and operatic bass Soloman Howard at the Cathedral Basilica, both at 4 pm. Branden James, a singer whose resumé includes stints at the Metropolitan Opera and Chicago’s Lyric Opera, and James Clark, a cellist and pianist, will be familiar to some Santa Feans as they performed regularly at Vanessie a few years back while literally getting their act together. Santa Fe Soul Festival was formed to celebrate African American art forms. SFMW will present mariachis on the Plaza August 26–29 at 3 pm, and the music will continue each of those evenings plus August 24 at 5:30 pm. Check the website for updates.—Lisa J.
