"For many Americans, imagining a bright future has always been an act of resistance. A People's Future of the United States presents twenty never-before-published stories by a diverse group of writers, featuring voices both new and well-established. These stories imagine their characters fighting everything from government surveillance, to corporate cities, to climate change disasters, to nuclear wars. But fear not: A People's Future also invites readers into visionary futures in which the country is shaped by justice, equity, and joy. Edited by Victor LaValle and John Joseph Adams, this collection features a glittering landscape of moving, visionary stories written from the perspective of people of color, indigenous writers, women, queer & trans people, Muslims and other people whose lives are often at risk" -- Provided by publisher.

Worth taking a look submitted by emilyb308 on July 21, 2019, 4:03pm Some of these stories were quite compelling while others decidedly failed to impress (which, in my experience, is par for the course with short-story collections). Overall I thought this one was worth the read. My personal favorites were the contributions from Violet Allen, N. K. Jemison, and Charles Yu. Also, I would love to read a novel-length continuation of Daniel H. Wilson’s “A History of Barbed Wire.”
