"First Light" is our reoccurring feature that highlights speculative writing by early Latter-day Saints. Nephi Anderson uses the same kind of casual accidental time travel that you may have read in "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" to encourage gratitude for the sacrifices of the past.
A Latter-day Saint won a Tony Award for an (arguably) speculative musical. Plus thoughts about AI and a sneak peek at what we're working on for our print issue, all in this month's newsblotter. Become a free subscriber so you don't miss one!

If you've ever read Frankenstein, you'll recognize both the characters and the format of this piece. Written by R. de la Lanza, this series of nested letters is presented in both English and Spanish. #latterdaysaints #fiction #frankenstein #intranslation
