The Role of Speculative Fiction as a Cautionary Medium and Vehicle for Social Analysis.
A look into how Science fiction and fantasy can both explore upcoming realities, such as resource depletion and the consequences of climate change and warn against these looming problems while addressing social issues from a unique perspective with a view to suggesting possible solutions.
Stephen B. Pearl is an ex-lifeguard, mystic, science enthusiast, home handyman, backyard mechanic, and writer.
His cats know him as pride alpha. Servant might be more accurate.
Stephen’s books range across the speculative fiction field encompassing post-apocalyptic environmental fiction through his Tinker’s World series, presently, Tinker’s Plague and Tinker’s Sea.
Sociological Space-based science fiction through the Freedom Saga, Cloning Freedom and coming December 2021 Freedom’s Law.
Military science fiction and a homage to the great HG Wells, War of the Worlds 2030.
Paranormal, Nukekubi, Worlds Apart and The Hollow Curse.
Historical fantasy/Game lit, the Bastard Prince Saga, Horn of the Kraken and coming soon, The Mistletoe Spear. A Norse fantasy Viking adventure based on the anthropologically accurate game universe of the Fate of the Norns Ragnarök Role Playing Game system.
Stephen likes to weave real science, history, mythology and romantic sub-plots into his work. Stories of people being empowered by love where the power and security of love allows them to triumph in other areas always appeal to him. Mushy heat felt sighs and teenaged romanticism are a sure turn-off.
Stephen currently lives in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, with four cats and his wife of over thirty years. For more visit: www.stephenpearl.com
