"""Breathtaking in scope and thrillingly thoughtful, Disobedience lit up so many parts of my brain at once... A dire warning that is also dramatic, sexy, and bleakly hopeful, this story will stay with me for a very long time."" --Jessica Westhead, author of Avalanche ""In the tradition of great, socially conscious sci-fi authors such as Ursula K. Le Guin, Karasik's debut novel is a daring, emotionally arresting dive into the heart of many questions that haunt society today... Disobedience is a striking addition to queer and trans futurism, to speculative fiction, and to the revolutionary imagination."" --Kai Cheng Thom, author of Falling Back in Love with Being Human ""Karasik offers us a nuanced exploration of the challenges of interpersonal harm, accountability, and transformative justice in a revolutionary community in struggle. This book is both an entertaining speculative fiction and an aid in thinking through the desires and dynamics of radical movements."" --M. E. O'Brien, co-author Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052-2072 ""Karasik's meticulously observed, blazingly felt novel Disobedience renders abolitionist and communist futures touchable... This book invites us, full of contradictions and failures as we are, into that transformation, and in so doing, fosters a disciplined, courageous optimism."" --Jody Chan, author of impact statement"
