Revealing A People’s Future of the United States, A New Anthology from Editors Victor LaValle and John Joseph Adams

We’re excited to share the cover for A People’s Future of the United States, a new anthology edited by Victor LaValle and John Joseph Adams showcasing twenty-five speculative stories that challenge oppression and imagine new futures for America. Get more details and check out the full cover below!

A People’s Future of the United States publishes February 2019 with One World.

In these tumultuous times, in our deeply divided country, many people are angry, frightened, and hurting. Knowing that imagining a brighter tomorrow has always been an act of resistance, editors Victor LaValle and John Joseph Adams invited an extraordinarily talented group of writers to share stories that explore new forms of freedom, love, and justice. They asked for narratives that would challenge oppressive American myths, release us from the chokehold of our history, and give us new futures to believe in.

They also asked that the stories be badass.

The result is this extraordinary collection of twenty-five stories that blend the dark and the light, the dystopian and the utopian. These tales are vivid with struggle and hardship—whether it’s the othered and the oppressed, or dragonriders and covert commandos—but these characters don’t flee, they fight.

A People’s Future of the United States is a call to arms for anyone who believes in our power to dream a just world. Thrilling, inspiring, and a sheer joy to read, this anthology reminds us of the life-giving power of storytelling.
