Product Description

Product Description

The best fiction has always been a little...dangerous. For centuries, authors have used the veil of fiction to cast a critical eye toward the larger society around them: think of Emile Zola, Victor Hugo, Issac Asimov, Margaret Atwood, Aldous Huxley, J.R.R. Tolkien, H.G. Wells, Mary Shelley, and beyond. And now, for the first time, some of the biggest names in contemporary fiction discuss the endless possibilities of the world of fiction with a specific focus on anarchist politics. In a series of interviews with SteamPunk Magazine founder Margaret Killjoy, Ursula K. Le Guin, Alan Moore, Lewis Shiner, Starhawk, Derrick Jensen, Cristy C. Road, Michael Moorcock, and a variety of other up-and-coming young writers reflect on the ways in which their personal politics have shaped their work. Plus, a fantastic introduction by best-selling sci-fi author Kim Stanley Robinson!

5.0 out of 5 stars We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams..., 10 Nov 2009
By Warren Draper (Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
There are several ways in which you can tell that you are reading an important book...

1. You wish that you read it when you were younger.
2. You wish that YOU wrote/created it.
3. It inspires you to change the direction that your life is taking.

'Mythmakers & Lawbreakers' ticks all of these boxes.

There is a quote from one of the writers featured in the book which is very relevant to the book itself; in 'Swamp Thing' Alan Moore says...

"There are people. There are stories. The people think they shape the stories, but the reverse is often closer to the truth."

...this book reminds us how true that statement is. It also reminds us that we need new stories/myths if we are to get beyond the current impasse of climate change, social-injustice and hyper-materialism. From a writers point of view it also illustrates the fact that even the best writers still suffer from the doubt and alienation which so desperately stifles human freedom.

If you're a comic fan, buy this book. If you're a sci-fi and/or fantasy fan, buy this book. If you're a political activist, buy this book. Hell, if you're human, BUY THIS BOOK!
