Critics Review
“A disarmingly credible portrait of what life and work might be like in a future that may already be here, and that may or may not be reclaimable.”
—Locus Magazine
“A great lineup of stories.”
—Toronto Star
“A treat box full of riveting narratives about lived experiences in the Anthropocene. Together they present a compelling narrative … that the richness of life will endure past most changes.”
—Physics World
“Packed with solid stories, including a handful of gems, and succeeds in its aim to explore our future with rational optimism.”
—Engineering & Technology
“Our future is likely to be preoccupied by climate disaster. But what will that actually look like, and how will we find ways to keep going? Ten science fiction and fantasy authors explore our possible futures. Malka Older writes about surveillance being turned into a force for good; Tade Thompson explores the possibility of a utopia built on a floating island of plastics. These stories are interesting, thought-provoking and hopeful.”
