For as long as humans have existed, they have asked: What if?
Science fiction was a defining genre of the postwar era, and its
current boom across books, film and TV shows no sign of slowing.
Space ships, time travel, aliens and artificial intelligence
continue to obsess us, and dreams of the apocalypse haunt our own
post-pandemic age. But what is it that compels writers to imagine
the future? Writing the Future gathers some of the best
contemporary writers of science fiction, speculative fiction,
dystopia and eco-fiction to explain their craft and explore the
many worlds upon which our imaginations might land. Authors such as
Toby Litt, Nina Allan, Adam Roberts and Una McCormack reveal how to
balance scientific research with creative freedom, examine the
different forms the written text might evolve into, and offer
practical advice on giving life to your own vision of the future.
Whether you’re a reader, a seasoned writer looking to hone your
skills, or a beginner who's just starting out, Writing the Future
provides valuable insights into the craft of imagining the worlds
of tomorrow.
