Critical science fiction, at its core, presents an opportunity to explore novel ways of existing in the world, envisioning diverse economic, political, and social structures. Within its pages, science fiction offers a platform to experiment with ambitious projects without the fear of failure. Engaging with and writing science fiction is a valuable endeavor for individuals seeking to transform their circumstances. Reworlding, a term coined by Callum Copley, refers to a collective effort to reimagine the places and spaces we inhabit, creating multiple futures that can positively impact the present. It goes beyond the traditional notion of worldbuilding as a form of art or entertainment and employs aspects of it as a radical tool for social change. The stories compiled in this book were the result of a writing workshop series led by Callum Copley in Birzeit, a town near Ramallah, Palestine. They encompass a wide range of themes, from alien experiments to fortune-tellers and telepathic conspiracies, and depict visions of the West Bank and beyond, reworlding both the local and the interplanetary. While the contributions in the collection vary in form, length, and style, they collectively contribute to a growing but relatively small niche of Palestinian science fiction.
