Can we change who gets to decide? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She hears a dead friend singing in the park – who selected that voice-mod to replace their own, and why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meeting him among the tethers holding together her small space city was electrifying – until she sensed one disintegrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teens on different space habitats exchanging messages and dreams – via junk DNA<\/a> in bio-sample data packets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A robot far in the woods, observing the tiniest creatures in its soil – “I am very tired of humans desperately needing me to be something to them” (pg. 119).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gender assumptions, body image, white entitlement, traditional knowledges, emotions and more\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to ten futures with William Alexander, K. Ancrum, Elizabeth Bear, A.R. Capetta, Charlotte Nicole Davis, Nasugraq Rainey Hopson, A.S. King, E.C. Myers, Junauda Petrus-Nasah, and graphic novelist Wendy Xu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authors were challenged to write YA fiction using classic hard Sci-Fi with “no magic, no faster-than-light travel, just real-world physics,” and they succeeded brilliantly with these stories “about young people discovering themselves and how their bravery can change the world in small or big ways” (pg x).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check it out at your local library<\/a> or independent bookstore<\/a> – hardcover, eBook, and paperback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you see in your future?
