This universe is getting to be a lot. As if troubling political trends, climate change, and a rising billionaire class weren’t bad enough, the space beyond our little blue planet is equally full of horrors. I recently learned about a black hole called TON 618 that has a diameter as large as THE ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM. I don’t care if it’s billions of lightyears away, I don’t feel comfortable sharing a universe with that cosmic monstrosity. I need a vacation to a parallel universe where black holes are manageable. While I won’t find refuge in this reality, I can in the pages of these fantasy and sci-fi books about parallel universes. Too bad I might need to travel through a wormhole to get there – which is basically a black hole’s cousin.
Woman On The Edge of Time
(Fawcett)A seminal work of feminist sci-fi, Marge Piercy’s Woman On The Edge of Time is the story of Consuelo “Connie” Ramos, a Mexican-American woman who is unjustly incarcerated in an 1970’s mental institution. One day, she gets a visitor… from outside of reality. Connie is contacted by an androgynous envoy of the year 2137, who shows her utopian future where humanity is freed from social prejudice and economic hardship. Great news! Trouble is, Connie’s visitor has unwittingly created a butterfly effect in the past, and Connie’s awareness of this someday-utopia has caused today’s reality to shift. Connie soon learns that the bright future she foresaw is only one outcome of the world, the other is a hyper-capitalist hellscape predicated on social oppression. In order to secure the temporal paradise of tomorrow, Connie engages in a one-woman rebellion in the present. The future will be hers, whether her captors like it or not.
