Class Description:

What is Speculative Fiction? It’s the fiction of ‘what if?’ What if we had a time machine? What if we had faster than light travel? Speculative fiction can be a way of playing with ideas and their implementation, or of providing reflection on our world as it is.

In this course students will work on using speculative questions to build worlds and then create characters to inhabit their predicaments. Students will learn world building, plotting, character formation and genre conventions.
