Brave New Worlds collects the best tales of totalitarian menace by
some of today's most visionary writers, including Neil Gaiman,
Paolo Bacigalupi, Orson Scott Card, Kim Stanley Robinson, Kurt
Vonnegut, Jr., Ken Liu, Shirley, Jackson, and Ursula K. Le Guin.
What happens when civilization invades and dictates every aspect of
your life? From 1984 to The Handmaid's Tale, from Children of Men
to Bioshock, the dystopian imagination has been a vital and
gripping cautionary force. You are being watched. Your every
movement is being tracked, your every word recorded. Your spouse
may be an informer, your children may be listening at your door,
your best friend may be a member of the secret police. You are
alone among thousands, among great crowds of the brainwashed, the
well-behaved, the loyal. Productivity has never been higher, the
media blares, and the army is ever triumphant. One wrong move, one
slip-up, and you may find yourself disappeared -- swallowed up by a
monstrous bureaucracy, vanished into a shadowy labyrinth of
interrogation chambers, show trials, and secret prisons from which
no one ever escapes. Welcome to the world of the dystopia, a world
of government and society gone horribly, nightmarishly wrong. When
the government wields its power against its own people, every
citizen becomes an enemy of the state. Will you fight the system,
or be ground to dust beneath the boot of tyranny? Skyhorse

much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York
