Last week, humanity has come one step closer to the future: We’ve been able to cure HIV.

Now, imagine a world where we have solved the mystery of incurable diseases. How does it look like? What do you feel? How have the world, your daily life and that of your surroundings changed? Answer these questions eloquently enough and – who knows – maybe add to your Curriculum Vitae the honourable title of a Science Fiction writer, one glory day into the future.

Science Fiction is the genre of today’s review of RED STAR, too. It is a genre often referred to as the one that spawns a ‘literature of ideas’, as a device with which to discuss rather philosophical ideas. Most Science Fiction create alternative worlds and futures where developing or future technologies are either being criticized or praised for their innovation. More often than not though, authors of Science Fiction fasten the innovational process of technology expanding into our daily lives and see what it’s like out there we were faster, smarter et cetera. And so did Alexander Bogdanov.
