A homeworld is "a place that belongs to all of us…operat[ing] on the principle that science fiction provides a place in this day and age for all sorts of people from all walks of life…" Embracing science fiction and imagination, the homeworld opens space for hope and optimism. Homeworld opens by defining the concept then moving on to newspaper headlines and text clippings of science fiction reviews collaged against images of black and white figures and closes with Elora Powell’s short story The Hole in Plato’s Pocket.
