Why on earth are we still celebrating the arrival of new science fiction books in August 2025 while the real world is falling apart? Isn’t it infuriating that we’re so distracted by these shiny new titles that we ignore pressing issues around us? The publishing industry keeps churning out stories while societal problems like climate change and inequality scream for attention. Instead of burying our heads in fictional worlds, how about we face reality? It's time to hold authors and publishers accountable for their role in perpetuating a culture of escapism rather than engagement! Enough with the distractions – we need action, not just more books! #ScienceFiction #Accountability #RealityCheck #August2025 #SocialIssues
