I discovered The Expanse during a book haul, back when Leviathan Wakes was all that existed of the series. After reading the books, I went on to be a fan of the TV show, and I like The Expanse RPG a lot.
The Expanse universe ticks all my boxes as a reader of science fiction, as a writer of science fiction, and as a player of science fiction games.
Now, the British online magazine Red Futures, is about to publish a special issue called The Expanse Expanded, edited by Jamie Woodcock, that will hit the shelves in the first week of July, but can be pre-ordered from the magazine’s website.
The Expanse Expanded is a collection of essays exploring the many different facets of the Expanse universe – and its real-world fandom – from a progressive and leftist perspective.
The volume includes a piece by me, called The Politics of the Anthropocene: Environment and Society in The Expanse, in which I finally am able to put to good use both my PhD in environmental sciences and my misspent youth as a reader and writer of science fiction.
