FIF Bookclub February Nomination Thread - The Other Path: Societal Systems Rethought
Welcome to the February FIF Bookclub nomination thread for The Other Path: Societal Systems Rethought.
I thought it would be interesting to focus on speculative fiction works that feature societies with unique political or cultural systems that challenge traditional gender hierarchies, offering fresh perspectives on power, governance, and community. Essentially, no patriarchy. These works are less common than you'd think in the realm of imagination, so I will add a few extra nominations below. Feel free to add your own!
Nominations
Make sure FIF has not read a book by the author previously. You can check this Goodreads Shelf. You can take an author that was read by a different book club, however. (This might change in the future but for now it's still a rule we're going with).
Leave one book suggestion per top comment. Please include title, author, and a short summary or description. (You can nominate more than 1 if you like, just put them in separate comments.)
Please include bingo squares if possible.
I will leave this thread open for 3 days, and compile top results into a google poll to be posted on Friday December 20, 2024. Have fun!
January FIF pick: Metal From Heaven by August Clarke
