'The Mad Planet' is a science-fiction short story written by American writer Murray Leinster. It is often cited as one of the first attempts of depicting the effects of climate change in fiction—which isn't a wholly inaccurate distinction. The story centers on a man who finds himself in the middle of a slowly melting Earth due to high CO2 concentration. This eventually led to the awakening of giant insect creatures bent on completely wiping off humanity.

THE UNIVERSE MAY NOT BE A NICE NEIGHBORHOOD . . . _The oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown,Ó the grand master of horror, H.P. Lovecraft, once wrote.

About the story: Jim, a teacher at the First Christian Church in Clark s Corner, Earth. He is caught in the middle of things, when the evil General Larze, from the planet Lazertra, on the other side of the galaxy, tries to overthrow the Planetary Alliance. I might as well go along with the prank. He quickly opened the passenger door of his car, saying, Do you mind, coming home with me? I have just the place, where you can hide. Continuing on home, Jim glanced at, the supposed alien, and questioned, So, what planet are you from? I am forever grateful for your assistance, kind sir. My name is Ab, and I m from the planet, Mystera, which is, on the other side of the galaxy. Jim stated with a smirk, Our Milky Way Galaxy is so vast, which means, it should have taken you years to get here, traveling at the speed of light. Not really, answered Ab, You see, my people have a way to fold space, making the distance shorter.

The first book-length exploration of the quirky feminist booklets With names like The East Village Inky, Mend My Dress, Dear Stepdad, and I’m So Fucking Beautiful, zines created by girls and women over the past two decades make feminism’s third wave visible. These messy, photocopied do-it-yourself documents cover every imaginable subject matter and are loaded with handwriting, collage art, stickers, and glitter. Though they all reflect the personal style of the creators, they are also sites for constructing narratives, identities, and communities. Girl Zines is the first book-length exploration of this exciting movement. Alison Piepmeier argues that these quirky, personalized booklets are tangible examples of the ways that girls and women ‘do’ feminism today. The idiosyncratic, surprising, and savvy arguments and issues showcased in the forty-six images reproduced in the book provide a complex window into feminism’s future, where zinesters persistently and stubbornly carve out new spaces for what it means to be a revolutionary and a girl. Girl Zines takes zines seriously, asking what they can tell us about the inner lives of girls and women over the last twenty years.
