Glorifying Terrorism is a new anthology of short stories by British SF authors in praise of "terrorism" — from Nelson Mandela on. The anthology, edited by Farah Mendelsohn, was inspired by a ridiculous British law that makes it a crime to "glorify terrorism" in Britain — an effort by Parliament to save the British democracy by destroying freedom of expression.
An all-star cast of writers fill out this book, from Charlie Stross and Suzette Haden Elgin to Ken MacLeod and Jo Walton. These are some of my favorite writers in the world, risking arrest to make the case for a truly free Britain. Rather than mouthing empty platitudes about freedom, these writers are actually living free. Bravo.
