Is the future of humanity a bright one? Or is it looking bleak? This generation is engulfed by a tidal wave of unprecedented, unfathomable change. As we grapple with the ubiquity of digital technology and the consequences of the current climate crisis, we are left pondering the question: what does the future look like for humankind?Visionary author Ryan Riley picks apart this question in a cutting-edge collection of short science fiction stories about the world we’re creating for ourselves. Is it a world of machines that want to be treated like humans? Is it a world where water is the currency of life? A world where non-digitized art is rare? A world of too many people, and too few bodies? A world that’s ending? A world of war? A world of powers? A world of censorship? A world of prisoners? A world of... our future.Stories of A Possible Future offers prescient glimpses into our destiny.With incisive insight and imagination, Riley takes us on an odyssey into the not-so-far future where humans teeter precariously on the brink of either transcendence or total annihilation. Along the way, he illuminates the hidden recesses of human civilization where progress is often paid at the price of blood and greed.Riley’s worlds are at once frightening and familiar, impossible and imminent. His landscapes come alive with sentient machines, creatures confronted with the moral and ethical costs of technological advancement, and people caught in a political crossfire of cosmic proportions. Through this motley crew of richly drawn characters, he examines war, power, and ecological destruction, as they intersect with our fate as a race.More than a collection of science stories, this science fiction is a meditation on what it means to be human in an increasingly inhuman world. This bold work of fiction will keep readers speculating about the future possibilities and breathlessly awaiting every turn of the page.In this riveting science fiction short story anthology, you will find nine tales about:- Artificial intelligence- Machiavellian power struggles- War-torn societies- Interstellar journeysReady for a mind-bending journey into the world of tomorrow?
