Please hold while I lie on the floor and catch my breath over the greatness of this book. ![]() Everfair follows the creation and development of this country over the course of thirty years. The residents of Everfair develop steam technology that allows them, in alliance with the indigenous king of the Everfair territory, to chase out King Leopold’s forces. Everfair, therefore, creates an alternate version of Congolese history in which white and black Europeans and Americans purchase land in the Congo to create a small country called Everfair. The genesis of Nisi Shawl’s debut novel Everfair was the author’s bafflement that she had never gotten into steampunk, and her theory that the reason for this is steampunk’s uncomfortable connections with colonialism. Note: I received an e-galley of Everfair from the publisher for review consideration. ![]()
