AbstractHistoryArchive Description

In The Saltwater Battle, 'war machines attack and it's 'Proto-Suffragettes vests the Martians!' in an amusing re-framing of Wells as a kind of girl's-own adventure; with some appropriately scandalous post-modern romance for good measure. Are the martians ridding the Earth of 'toxic masculinity' or merely being pragmatic with future plans for sustainable industrial food production?'
