SUMMARY:THE LASER LIFE SPRING EDITION
DESCRIPTION:**what is this is** \n**queer sci-fi reading** \nThe LASER LIFE series of readings is designed to expose the quantumly quantative\, psycho-spiritual\, panoramic truth of the speculative\, to make real the shaman’s holler\, the mystic’s clamour\, the soothsayer’s griot-speak– all that was falsely remembered as unreal. Laser Life is a tour beyond the stilted cis-hetero-white-male gaze of normative “science fiction” that plagues the shelves of your local bookstore and Goodreads “to read” lists. It is hoped that Laser Life does not serve as tokenistic or anomalous within the ranks of science fiction\, but that the inclusion of our marginalized voices be viewed as not only empowering\, necessary or revolutionary\, but as intrinsic. \nLaser Life is everything\, and everything in its place: the nook of all that is possible for us to view: the whole of the universe. \n  \nFeaturing:\nMetropolarity\nJoyce Hatton\nChaska\nAsli Dukan \nFlier by Oskar Castro
