With that in mind, let’s get started!
The Blazing World, by Margaret Cavendish
This book is considered the first sci-fi novel to exist. It
was written by Margaret Cavendish, a poet, philosopher, writer of prose
romances, essayist and playwright, who was related to the royals of England.
She was also a Duchess and scientist.
The Blazing World
follows the adventures of a beautiful woman who is kidnapped by other worldly
creatures, who take her to their kingdom in another world. There, she quickly
wins their admiration and becomes an empress.
She then wages a war on earth. The book was considered
unusual for its time but has gone on to inspire several sci-fi writers.
Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley
Name someone who hasn’t heard of or read Frankenstein. Shelley
started writing the masterpiece when she was 18 years old and after a few
centuries, it became a cult hit.
It tackled themes such as the nature of life and death,
immortality and genetic engineering. Dr. Frankenstein was shown as an
irresponsible and callous man who refused to take responsibility of the monster
he had created and the consequences of his actions.
The one lesson we can learn from Frankenstein is that just
because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should do it.
We’re Not So Different, Fabian Grant
This brilliant book has an important message for all of us—we’re
not so different from the things we fear.
The plot of the book focuses on Martians becoming exhausted
and tired of the meddling of humans on their planet, and decide to do something
about it.
After decades of probes the aliens are gearing up to declare
war. But not all of Mars’ residents are happy with the notion of war.
A Martian named Lois and her son volunteer to conduct a scouting
mission on earth, which will decide the fate of humans.
Fabian Grant will make you question your own perception of
the world around and life itself. Are we really who we think we are or are we
controlled by our desires to achieve something more? The themes of war,
conflict, and self-reflection are prominent in this book.
The book is available on Amazon and Kindle.
