This book focuses on six works of science fiction from the UK, France, Spain, and Italy: Jennifer Marie Brissett’s Elysium; Nicoletta Vallorani’s Sulla Sabbia di Sur and Il Cuore Finto di DR; Aliette de Bodard’s Xuya Universe series; Elia Barcelo’s Consecuencias Naturales; and Historias del Crazy Bar, a collection of stories by Lola Robles and Maria Concepcion Regueiro. It sets these in conversation with key gender and critical race scholars: Judith Butler, Rosi Braidotti, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Paul Gilroy, and Jack Halberstam. It asserts that a key concern for feminism, anti- racism, and science fiction now is to seek inventive ways of returning to the question of the human in the context of increasing racial and gender divisions.  Offering unique access to contemporary and historical women writers who have mobilised the utopian imagination to rethink the human, this book is of use to those conducting research in Gender Studies, Philosophy, History, and Literature.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52594919997713,"sku":"NLS9781032503523","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781032503523.jpg?v=1761070220"},{"product_id":"what-if-we-got-ai-right-book-eleanor-drage-9781805225447","title":"What If We Got AI Right?","description":"'Timely and much-needed' Carole Cadwalladr  'A wise and purpose-driven book to steer us out  of AI doom' Sandi Toksvig  We're confused about AI: what it is, and where it's leading us - whether into a utopia or an apocalypse. Yet these obsessions thwart efforts to make meaningful change in an industry with very real problems.  Here, Dr Eleanor Drage, one of the world's leading AI ethicists, unpicks the culture and ideas that drive the AI arms race, from billionaires trying to cheat death to biased police algorithms and state capture by big tech.  We need new language and new ideas to re-determine what AI is for and how we should use it. Only by bringing feminism, reparative justice and climate politics into the debate can we create a better future with machines.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53679382692113,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53679382954257,"sku":"GOR014999067","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781805225447.jpg?v=1782382773"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-eleanor-drage.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
