Details: In these tumultuous times, in our deeply divided country, many people are angry, frightened and hurting. Knowing that imagining a brighter tomorrow has always been an act of resistance, editors Victor lavalle and John Joseph Adams invited an extraordinarily talented group of writers to share stories that explore new forms of freedom, love and justice. They asked for narratives that would challenge oppressive American myths and give us new futures to believe in. They also asked that the stories be badass. The result is this extraordinary collection of twenty-five stories that blend the dark and the light, the dystopian and the utopian. These tales are vivid with struggle and hardship-whether it's the other and the oppressed or dragon riders and covert commandos-butt these characters don't flee, they fight. A people's future of the United States is a call-to-arms for anyone who believes in our power to dream a just world. Thrilling, inspiring and a sheer joy to read, this anthology reminds us of the life-giving power of storytelling. Contributors: Violet Allen, Charlie Jane Anders, Ashok K. Banker, Tobias S.
