Snippet: Contemporary fiction chronicles the things around us. Science fiction imagines a futuristic world. But speculative fiction sits in between – envisaging a world that is not ours, but is nonetheless close enough to touch. Like the Netflix series Black Mirror, speculative fiction offers a disquieting window into our possible futures.

Snippet: When Deadloch’s first season dropped in 2023, it was already the most ambitious show on Australian television. A wild odd-couple comedy, incisive social satire and genuinely compelling whodunit thriller that also ruthlessly mocked the genre itself. It was a feminist satire of self-serious prestige crime shows and Scandi-noir that was so aggressively Aussie it threw around terms like “c--- punch” without anyone blinking an eye.
