This Is Not A Science Fiction Textbook

edited by Mark Bould & Steven Shaviro
Goldsmiths Press / MIT Press
Paperback, 168pp.

This Is Not A Science Fiction Textbook brings together leading sf scholars, including some of the most exciting new critical voices, to introduce the genre for the general reader. A vital bridge between technoscience and culture, it is an early warning system, a method for imagining differently, and a way of experiencing our increasingly science-fictional world. It is the vernacular of the 21st century.

Internal images coming soon — publishing 6 Feb 2024.

I was brought on board to clean up and standardise initial designs, tailoring what had been created to what the authors had provided. The series style developed under my art direction: a little-bit-punk with a rough-and-ready, old school, photo-copied aesthetic — that still maintained a clear and accessible hierarchy of information.

A Critical Glossary

Goldsmiths Press / MIT Press
Paperback, 248pp.

Goldsmith Press’s PERC series seeks to refresh political economy, in the original sense of the term, as a pluralist and critical approach to the study of capitalism. In doing so it challenges the sense of economics as a discipline, separate from the other social sciences, aiming instead to combine economic knowledge with various other disciplinary approaches.

The cover design connects the volatility of economic systems with the social unrest that leads to street riots and broken shop windows.

Building Solidarity Architectures

Collective Care in Times of Crisis

by Elisavet Hasa
Goldsmiths Press / MIT Press
Paperback, 248pp.

The Spatial Politics Series is an inventive interdisciplinary series of books examining spatial politics at various geographical and critical scales—from the domestic to the neighbourhood to the global.

The book cover uses imagery from makeshift pharmacies set-up on the ground for protesters during long-term demonstrations in Greece. The colour palette evokes the bright, contrasting hues of medical capsules.

A Physical Education

by Jonathan Taylor
Goldsmiths Press / MIT Press
Paperback, 248pp.

Intermingling memoir with literary criticism, philosophy and sociology, A Physical Education is a highly original examination of the uses and abuses of power in the education system. It explores how bullying and discipline function, how they differ from each other, and how they all-too-often overlap.

The book cover uses the author’s own childhood imagery to suggest the fragmentation and pain that occurs when bullies target an individual.

Schrödinger's Wife (and other possibilities)

by Pippa Goldschmidt
MIT Press / Goldsmiths Press
Paperback, 248pp.

The stories in Schrödinger’s Wife (and other possibilities) travel through laboratories, observatories, rockets, hotel rooms, hospitals, out to the Antarctic and into outer space, following the trails of women scientists, technicians, patients, doctors and spouses in their encounters with some of the most extraordinary aspects of modern science.

The book cover plays on the infamous scientist Schrödinger and his many-words interpretation of quantum mechanics. His wife, the undervalued protagonist of the title story, imagines her own alternative lives.

The Headland

by Abi Curtis
MIT Press / Goldsmiths Press
Paperback, 248 pp.

A dual narrative set in Dungeness in the aftermath of the great storm of 1987 and the not-far future. Dolores develops an intimate emotional relationship with a creature she finds washed up in a piece of driftwood. Decades later Morgan tries to unravel the mysteries of his mother’s past, but to do so he must come to terms with his own origins. The Headland challenges ideas about love and grief, parenthood and belonging, and the very fabric of time.

The book cover evokes a unique sense of place, the weight of grief, the strike of a sudden life-changing event and the bonds of parenthood.
