At Multiversity, our shelves reflect the full spectrum of human imagination. We believe that, like all the best stories, great speculative fiction challenges assumptions, builds empathy, and shows us lives and worlds beyond our own experience. That’s why we curate a wide selection of titles from a diverse roster of authors. The stories that stretch us are just as important as the ones that feel like home.
Our curation is grounded in three principles: books are more than a commodity and have the power to change the world; everyone who walks through our door deserves respect and a genuine welcome; and we conduct ourselves with integrity in everything we do. That means that, somewhat paradoxically, Multiversity will not be for everyone. We’re fine with that.
We are not a library. We’re a private business with a point of view, and we’ve earned the right to express it, just as you have the right to shop where you please. If Multiversity is your kind of place, welcome home. If it’s not, there are plenty of other great independent bookstores out there, and we genuinely hope you find one that fits.
We welcome feedback that’s offered respectfully and in good faith. We don’t respond to threats, harassment, demands, or ultimatums. We decide what earns a place on our shelves, and we decide what stays there. Every reader gets to decide what’s worth their time. We trust you to make that call for yourself and ask that you extend the same trust to your fellow readers.
