Boston Review Magazine Fall 2017 Zurück Ausgabe

In this collection, celebrated authors and new voices conjure dystopian visions, from cannibals to robot sentience, from regimes of racial and gender violence to climate catastrophe. Some of these futures stretch the imagination; others feel uncomfortably possible. Together they offer readers a critical perspective on the crises of our time and raise vital questions about political and civic responsibility. If we have, as editor Junot Díaz says, reached peak dystopia, then Global Dystopias might just be the handbook we need.

Contributions from Charlie Jane Anders, Margaret Atwood, Tananarive Due, Maria Dahvana Headley, Nalo Hopkinson, Maureen McHugh, China Miéville, Jordy Rosenberg, and more.
