19 best new sci-fi and fantasy books to read in February 2020
The end of January brought about frigid temperatures and a new layer of snow, which was the perfect background for the book that I’ve been reading lately: Waubgeshig Rice’s 2018 novel
Moon of the Crusted Snow, an intriguing post-apocalyptic novel set in Northern Canada. Rice, a member of the Wasauksing First Nation, follows Evan Whitesky, who has to care for his young family and help his community hold together as a massive blackout cuts power throughout North America.
It’s a fitting novel for the temperature, Rice uses it to examine the fragility of civilization and how dependent society has become on infrastructure. While reading it, I came across a tweet that seems to underscore his argument: “Dystopia is a white people word for ‘what if all that shit happened TO US?” It’s certainly not a new trope in speculative fiction literature, but Rice puts an interesting spin on it.
