Walking the Clouds: An Anthology of Indigenous Science FictionIn this first ever anthology of Indigenous science fiction Grace Dillon collects some of the finest examples of the craft with contributions by Native American, First Nations, Aboriginal Australian, and New Zealand Maori authors. The collection includes seminal authors such as Gerald Vizenor, historically important contributions often categorized as magical realism by authors like Leslie Marmon Silko and Sherman Alexie, and authors more recognizable

In this first-ever anthology of Indigenous science fiction Grace Dillon collects some of the finest examples of the craft with contributions by Native American, First Nations, Aboriginal Australian, and New Zealand Maori authors. The collection includes seminal authors such as Gerald Vizenor, historically important contributions often categorized as magical realism by authors like Leslie Marmon Silko and Sherman Alexie, and authors more recognizable to science fiction fans like William Sanders and Stephen Graham Jones. Dillon's engaging introduction situates the pieces in the larger context of science fiction and its conventions.

Organized by sub-genre, the book starts with Native slipstream, stories infused with time travel, alternate realities and alternative history like Vizenor's Custer on the Slipstream. Next up are stories about contact with other beings featuring, among others, an excerpt from Gerry William's The Black Ship. Dillon includes stories that highlight Indigenous science like a piece from Archie Weller's Land of the Golden Clouds, asserting that one of the roles of Native science fiction is to disentangle that science from notions of primitive knowledge and myth. The fourth section calls out stories of apocalypse like William Sanders' When This World Is All on Fire and a piece from Zainab Amadahy's The Moons of Palmares. The anthology closes with examples of biskaabiiyang, or returning to ourselves, bringing together stories like Eden Robinson's Terminal Avenue and a piece from Robert Sullivan's Star Waka.

An essential book for readers and students of both Native literature and science fiction, Walking the Clouds is an invaluable collection. It brings together not only great examples of Native science fiction from an internationally-known cast of authors, but Dillon's insightful scholarship sheds new light on the traditions of imagining an Indigenous future.

A Game-Changer for Comfort
Size: Medium, Color: Black, Number of Items: 6
I recently upgraded my workout gear with the Under Armour Training Cotton Quarter Socks, and I must say, these socks have revolutionized my exercise experience. Comfortable, durable, and stylish, they truly stand out in the crowded world of athletic socks. First and foremost, the comfort level of these socks is unparalleled. The blend of cotton and synthetic materials provides a soft and plush feel against my feet, making every step a pleasure. The quarter length strikes the perfect balance, offering ample coverage without being too restrictive or too short. It's like walking on clouds, even during the most intense workouts. One of the standout features is the moisture-wicking technology. I've worn these socks during high-intensity cardio sessions, and they have consistently kept my feet dry and comfortable. The breathability is remarkable, preventing that uncomfortable feeling of sweaty feet that often accompanies strenuous workouts. No more distractions – just focus on pushing through your fitness routine. Durability is another strong suit of these socks. After numerous washes, they maintain their shape and elasticity, showing no signs of wear and tear. The reinforced heel and toe areas provide extra support, ensuring longevity and preventing the dreaded sock holes that often plague other brands. The sleek design of the Under Armour Training Cotton Quarter Socks adds a touch of style to my workout attire. The subtle logo and choice of colors make them versatile enough to pair with any athletic shoes. Whether you're hitting the gym, going for a run, or simply running errands, these socks seamlessly blend fashion with function. In terms of sizing, I found that they fit true to size. The elastic band around the arch provides a snug yet comfortable fit, ensuring that the socks stay in place throughout any activity. While the price point may be slightly higher than some other options on the market, the quality and performance of the Under Armour Training Cotton Quarter Socks more than justify the investment. When it comes to comfort, durability, and style, these socks have become an indispensable part of my workout wardrobe.

Socks work really good. I have very rough and dry feet that tear up my bed sheets. They hold up to my destructive feet. They are soft and comfy!

LOVE THEM!!
Size: Small, Color: (001) Black / Black / Castlerock
LOVE! These socks are so comfortable! I wear a 5 in women's and a 3 in big kid shoes. The small fit me perfectly. I see where some say they run small but I can't say that was an issue for me. They are "snug" but thats what you want with a no show sock. I feel they have support vs the ones i used to buy at Walmart. They are very soft! I am actually buying more today and throwing my other ones in the trash!
