Hi hello I have been knee deep in a genre binge so here are some literary sci-fi books that deal with loneliness as a core theme
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
Translated from French this book follows the youngest girl in a group of 40 women who are being kept in a cage underground in an unknown place, for unknown reasons, until one day they get the chance to escape triggering a search for answers and survival on a desolate surface.
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
This is a very subtle dystopian story about a group of people who spend their childhoods at an extremely secretive english boarding school, the course of their relationships, and where they are at the end of their lives. There's a subtle feeling of wrongness from the first chapter and the author spends the rest of the novel very slowly revealing the reasons why.
Everything You Ever Wanted by Luiza Sauma
The super short form pitch for this book is 'Fleabag if there was an option to yeet herself to another planet'. Iris is in a long term relationship with depression, kind of hates her pointless job, sometimes hates her family, and is generally overwhelmed by the weight of existence, when she hears about Nyx - earth's first space colony - and thinks that just maybe it could be the answer to all her problems.
Remnant Population by Elizabeth Moon
When the population of a company sponsored colony finds out they have been designated a failure and the people are to be packed up and shipped off to another planet to try again, one little old lady decides that for the first time in her long life she's going to break the rules - she's going to stay and live her best life alone on the planet, and finally get some peace and quiet. What could go wrong?
Skyward Inn by Aliya Whiteley
Skyward Inn is an odd little book set in a future where Earth has come into contact with an alien world that quickly surrendered to humanity. The story follows a small group of kind of unlikeable people who live behind the walls of the 'western protectorate' - a place in the moors that's decided to isolate itself and live like the old days with rudimentary technology for a simple life. Until strangers appear and things start to get... weird. Slower, stranger and with more body horror than you might expect.

Mr Capaldi believed there was nothing special inside Josie that couldn’t be continued. He told the Mother he’d searched and searched and found nothing like that. But I believe now he was searching in the wrong place. There was something very special, but it wasn’t inside Josie. It was inside those who loved her.

I think what really makes me sad after reading Klara and the Sun is when Manager, at the end, says Rosa didn’t have a great outcome with her family because then Klara says, “Everyone in the house was very kind to me [ . . . ] It was the best home for me. And Josie was the best teenager.” And it saddens me because she truly believes that, but as the reader knowing what I know and seeing what I saw, it’s just not true. Chrissie could hardly look at her more than half the time and Josie loved Klara… when it was convenient for her. And of course the Housekeeper thought of Klara as not much more than a vacuum.
And I understand Josie was sick, she was just a teenager who didn’t know whether she would live or die, but it’s heartbreaking because even after Josie gets strong again Klara is kind of passively kicked out of Josie’s room and moves into the Utility Room (which I’m pretty sure is just an attic) and Josie prepares for college, invites friends to sleep over, and moves on from Klara like she’s a toy Josie grew out of.
Klara definitely had it better than other AFs like Rosa and the boy AF she saw across the street from the store, but she didn’t really have it good, either. Chrissie defended Klara against Mr Capaldi that she should have her ‘slow fade’ but then she ended up fading on her own in a scrap yard. She doesn’t even get to fade amongst family, just tossed away like a malfunctioning microwave. And it’s so fucking sad because Klara was loved, but not like a human family member would ever have been, and it’s sadder because Klara believed she was in the best home only because she never knew better.

Certainement, aucun indice ne révélait à l’époque que des incidents d’allure si anodine rendraient des rêves entiers à jamais impossibles.
Kazuo Ishiguro, Les Vestiges du jour (The Remains of the Day)
VO : There was surely nothing to indicate at the time that such evidently small incidents would render whole dreams forever irredeemable.
