Science Fiction & Fantasy with Great Prose and Big Ideas

My main focus on this channel is classic literature, philosophy, and more — all the books that make up the Western Canon. But what about genres that aren't typically included in the canon?

In this video, I talk about several works of science fiction and fantasy that have tremendous literary value. These are books with great prose and interesting worlds that explore some serious ideas: the existence of other worlds, the value of cultural memory, and the lows and highs of speculative thinking.

Enjoy!
