Emily Tesh / Vajra Chandrasekera / Sophie Strand

Tor Presents: Voyage Into Genre

Our voyage this week takes us into the waters of fundamentalism, from a space station with the last(?) vestiges of humanity to a city in a world much like ours except for the cults and the anti-gods floating around before coming back around to our world and the mystery cult around a guy called Jesus.

ITINERARY:

• Emily Tesh (Some Desperate Glory) on preventing radicalization, lessons from history about authoritarianism, and the pleasures of in-universe non-fiction.
• Vajra Chandrasekera (The Saint of Bright Doors) on *not* making a secondary world, performing some anthropology of the present day, and upending expectations in order to make his book his way.
• Sophie Strand (The Madonna Secret) on interrogating the motives behind the canonical Gospels and why collective storytelling is both humanity's past and its future.
