The Best Eastern European Sci Fi, recommended by Yvonne Howell

Science fiction writers on the other side of the Iron Curtain were profoundly free-thinking intellects and have much to tell us, argues Yvonne Howell, Professor of Russian and Global Studies at the University of Richmond. She introduces five of their best works: the play that gave us the word ‘robot’, the novel that introduced ‘stalkers’ to the genre, and stories that explore AI and ecological crisis decades before they became pressing concerns.
