This is a journey from the known to the unknown, taking the reader through familiar time and space to potential unpredictable and predictable outcomes. It is an exploration of the aspirations and the struggles for co-existence and survival among science, politics, nation-states, humanity, and the overall natural environment. The stories in Terrian Journals' Political Science Fiction go from outer space to techno-societies, forensics investigations, and pandemic times, putting them into the larger contexts of life, humanity, and the world as we know it. Terrian Journals' Political Science Fiction follows in the tradition of books in this genre dating back to Looking Backward, The Time Machine, The Shape Of Things To Come, 1984, etc. as well as more recent books, films, and televisions series that lend themselves to the genre, such at "The Net", "Enemy Of The State", "Outbreak", "Contagion", "The Prisoner", "CSI", and others. This volume diverges from the non-fiction Terrian Journals series, but brings together fictional stories inspired by the times and events of that series and mentioned in that series as stories in their entirety or as story ideas. Two of the stories are adapted from screenplays written by the author.
