Just some damn good speculative fiction

4 étoiles

I picked this book up in a Chicago bookstore, drawn to the title’s blatant parallels to a book that shaped my political views. A People’s Future promises a collection of speculative fiction - curated at the start of Trump’s presidency- to inspire a new vision of resistance in times of oppression, surveillance, and fascism. My favorite stories in this collection are from the usual suspects - Charlie Jane Anders, N K Jemesin , and Charles Ya …but I was also introduced to new authors such as Tananarive Due and Omar El Akkad. Not every story resonated with me, but I still cherish this collection for giving me just enough hope when I was so desperately craving it.
