Abstract

Interzone was guest-edited by Geoff Ryman and Julian Todd for one issue devoted to Mundane Science Fiction. The article discusses Mundanity as a practice which, like Dogme film-making, hoped to have a positive effect by agreeing not to use certain tropes or practices. Mundane SF avoids time travel, faster-than-light travel or parallel universes. The editorial turns this around to a discussion of what Mundanity positively does want: believeable visions of futures based on what science now tells us about the universe, in which change, real social change, is the subject.
