Emotions in Space: Humanity's Timelessness
This chapter delves into Samantha Harvey's book 'Orbital', which captures the emotional experiences of astronauts on the International Space Station. It examines how literature, particularly science fiction, reflects human emotions like love and grief amid technological advances, and draws parallels between past and present societal loneliness. The discussion highlights the role of science fiction as both a speculative tool for the future and a commentary on contemporary issues, ultimately emphasizing the interconnectedness of personal and geopolitical traumas.
