Goliath
byTochi Onyebuchi
Subenres: Dystopian FuturesPost-Apocalyptic
A primal biblical epic flung into the future, Goliath weaves together disparate narratives - a space-dweller looking at New Haven as a chance to reconnect with his spiraling lover; a group of civil servants attempting to renew the promises of Earth’s crumbling cities; a journalist attempting to capture the violence of the streets; a marshal questioning what form justice could even take - into a richly urgent mosaic about race, class, gentrification, and who is allowed to be the hero of any history.
