Sail into the critically-acclaimed world of New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hartman's Southlands in this sea-faring masterpiece that is part fantasy, part reckoning.Tess Dombegh has a mission from her Queen: sail across the oceans to the Archipelagos at the bottom of the world and keep a stealthy record of war-like aggressions. Tess has never been a spy, but she’s well practiced in the art of keeping secrets. Which is why no one knows that Tess is using this mission as an excuse to search for the last World Serpent—a once-mythical creature with magical abilities—and the last hope for Tess to save her best friend Pathka.

Visions of utopia – some hopeful, others fearful – have become increasingly prevalent in recent times. This groundbreaking, timely book examines expressions of the utopian imagination with a focus on the pressing challenge of how to inhabit a climate-changed world. Forms of social dreaming are tracked across two domains: political theory and speculative fiction. The analysis aims to both uncover the key utopian and dystopian tendencies in contemporary debates around the Anthropocene; as well as to develop a political theory of radical transformation that avoids not only debilitating fatalism but also wishful thinking. This book juxtaposes theoretical interventions, from Bruno Latour to the members of the Dark Mountain collective, with fantasy and science fiction texts by N. K. Jemisin, Kim Stanley Robinson and Margaret Atwood, debating viable futures for a world that will look and feel very different from the one we live in right now.
