‘Abolition Science Fiction’

Abolition Science Fiction(2022) is a collection of sci-fi short stories written by activists and scholars involved in prison abolition and transformative justice in the UK, edited by Phil Crockett Thomas. Alongside the stories are extracts from discussions from the workshops where we wrote and shared the stories. There are also creative writing exercises and discussion prompts, included to help readers explore ideas about abolition and transformative justice in creative ways. The book is aimed both at those curious about abolition and at seasoned activists who want to explore abolition through creative writing. An audio-book and other resources are available on the project website abolitionscifi.org. The book comes out of a fellowship project funded by the ISRF.
