Overview

We're a world beset by crises. Climate change, income inequality, racism, pandemics, an almost unmanageable tangle of issues. Sometimes it's hard to look ahead and see a hopeful future. We asked sci-fi writers to send us stories about ways to fix what's wrong with the world. From the sixty-five stories we received, we chose the twelve most amazing (and hopefully prescient) tales. Dive in and find out how we might mitigate climate change, make war obsolete, switch to alternative forms of energy, and restructure the very foundations of our society. The future's not going to fix itself.

"""The variety of approaches envisioned by these authors actually did make me feel a little more optimistic! Usually this type of anthology makes me feel like the scope of the problems is so vast that there's nothing that can realistically be done to help, but this made me feel like it is at least possible to improve conditions, if not make everything fantastic."" --Amazon Reader ""What a beautiful book! It was exactly what I needed to read. Each of the dozen stories in this anthology focuses on hope rising from a dystopian or post-apocalyptic setting. There is a broad range of settings in this book, but the glimmering thread of hope weaves through each one. I enjoyed reading each story, but I especially liked the ones that focused on building a family. My absolute favorite was Jennifer Povey's ""As Njord and Skadi;"" this one was an emotional gut-punch of awesomeness. Five stars."" --Author K.A. Masters ""...brilliant authors all share their heartfelt stories of change, loss, and hope that will make the reader feel ready to face an uncertain world."" --Rochelle, Goodreads"
