Reading The Defiant Agents | Alexandria
Read The Defiant Agents by Andre Norton. Deploying Native American agents backward through time to counter Soviet colonization of an alien planet stands as one of sci-fi's boldest premises. Norton's The Defiant Agents daringly suggests that indigenous wisdom, not advanced technology, holds the key to humanity's survival among the stars. Its searing critique of imperialism through a reverse-colonization lens remains startlingly relevant.
