Stories Behind Stories
Stories Behind Stories is a world-building blog. It uses current events and debates to examine the various dimensions in invented science-fiction and fantasy worlds, helping to add a dose of verisimilitude and social commentary to fictional worlds.
Genre fiction is at its best when it can tell us something about the world we live in right now; its events, its fears, and its attitudes. Stories Behind Stories draws on the author’s social science background and current affairs analysis to discuss how the stories of today might inform our stories about tomorrow.
