In Speculative Whiteness: Science Fiction and the Alt-Right, Jordan S. Carroll turns to science fiction and its fan communities to explore the speculative imagination of the contemporary right, from white nationalists to Silicon Valley techno-libertarians and beyond. Qualifying the genre essentialisms that lead some readers to approach sci-fi as innately progressive or left-utopian, Carroll anatomizes the narratives of “alt-victimhood” and “geek ressentiment” that have suffused sci-fi cultures, and he rereads key sci-fi novels and films through their reception among leading right-wing thinkers, including internet trolls of the alt-right. Schematizing how the Right reads science fiction by stripping it of “speculative indeterminacy,” Carroll teases apart the ambivalent political status of ideals typically associated with sci-fi, including innovation, imagination, and speculation itself, with an eye toward a future that belongs to everyone.
