This is a good resource for Socialists of any demeanor that might happen to also be fans of Science Fiction or Fantasy Novels. It's a list of 50 SF/Fantasy works with a socialist twist and a short description, most of which I've not read.

They listed The Mars Trilogy... the novels that inspired me to be a leftist. :)


Kim Stanley Robinson—The Mars Trilogy (1992–96)

Probably the most powerful center of gravity for Leftist SF in the 1990s. A sprawling and thoughtful examination of the variety of social relations feeding into and leading up to revolutionary change. (It’s also got some Gramsci jokes in it.)
