A unique and moving feminist post-apocalyptic tale
To win the Hugo Award for Best Novel is one thing, but to secure the Hugo, the Nebula, and the Locus Awards is another thing entirely. Vonda N. McIntyre's 1978 novel Dreamsnake did exactly that, becoming one of the most acclaimed science fiction books of the late 1970s.
This episode explores what made this feminist post-apocalyptic novel significant in 1978, and why it retains its power today.
