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 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.

      This anthology explores a world beset by climate change, police brutality, racism, and other messes. In J. G. Follansbee's "Who Shall Reap the Grain of Heaven," an industrialist funds an abbey's crop-dusting and cloud-seeding projects to alleviate climate change in order to make amends for his wrecking the earth. Will he find absolution for his sins? Another stellar entry is "Juma and the Quantum Ghost," by Ingrid Garcia, where an AI computer device is used to overcome economic inequality and corruption. In D. M. Rasch's "At the Movies," a Citizen Patrol officer uses tech implants to overcome a terrorist in a movie theater, all without resorting to violence. Humanity adapts to climate change, in Coatsworth's "Rise," by using genetically engineered polyps to raise the city of Venice out of drowning waters. "A Forest for the Trees,"" by Rachel Hope Crossman is a whimsical tale of humanity and trees fighting against climate change from the point of view of the trees, and "The Homestead at the Beginning of the World," by Jana Denardo shows how an isolated Ojibwa Nation is recovering from the ravages of an alien invasion. Readers who are concerned about these issues will find this anthology of interest.
