The Speculative Route examines science fictional and speculative traditions across South and Southwest Asia and North Africa (SSWANA), highlighting their historical links, regional entanglements, and distinct perspectives. Framing SFF as a mode rather than a strict genre, the volume challenges literary boundaries and explores how speculative thinking addresses political, cultural, and social issues. Featuring both scholarly essays and contributions from contemporary authors, it tackles themes such as decolonization, ecology, memory, and myth. This interdisciplinary collection offers valuable insights for readers and researchers interested in global SFF, comparative literature, and postcolonial studies.
