Susie Dumond is a queer writer originally from Little Rock, Arkansas. She is the author of Queerly Beloved, Looking for a Sign, and Bed and Breakup, and she also talks about books as a senior contributor at Book Riot and a bookseller at her local indie bookstore. Dumond lives in Washington, D.C., with her spouse, Mickey, and her cat, Maple. When she’s not writing or reading, you can find her baking cupcakes or belting karaoke at the nearest gay bar.
At Book Riot Dumond tagged eight "literary science fiction books [that] tell engaging stories set in futuristic worlds, but they’ll also make you think about humanity and your own life from new perspectives." One title on the list:
Time Travel for Beginners by Jaclyn MoriartyRead about the other entries on the list.
Weaving sci-fi elements into our contemporary world, Jaclyn Moriarty’s Time Travel for Beginners deeply explores the lives of three people in Sydney who patronize a new time travel agency to go looking for answers to today’s problems in the past. But the more they look into the agency’s methods and start experimenting with time travel, the more the ripple effects of their actions begin to change everything. It’s a bit whimsical and playful for some fun haters to call it “literary”, but who among us couldn’t use a little more (cleverly written) whimsy these days?
