Palestine + 100 poses a question to twelve Palestinian writers:
what might your country look like in the year 2048 - a century
after the tragedies and trauma of what has come to be called the
Nakba? How might this event - which, in 1948, saw the expulsion of
over 700,000 Palestinian Arabs from their homes - reach across a
century of occupation, oppression, and political isolation, to
shape the country and its people? Will a lasting peace finally have
been reached, or will future technology only amplify the suffering
and mistreatment of Palestinians? Covering a range of approaches -
from SF noir, to nightmarish dystopia, to high-tech farce - these
stories use the blank canvas of the future to reimagine the
Palestinian experience today. Along the way, we encounter drone
swarms, digital uprisings, time-bending VR, peace treaties that
span parallel universes, and even a Palestinian superhero, in
probably the first anthology of science fiction from Palestine
ever.
A brilliant collection of fictions in the vein of Roald Dahl, Etgar
Keret and Amy Hempel. These are stories of what the world looks
like from a child's pure but sometimes vengeful or muddled
perspective. These are stories of life in a war zone, life peppered
by surreal mistakes, tragic accidents and painful encounters. These
are stories of fantasist matadors, lost limbs and perplexed
voyeurs. This is a collection about sex, death and the
all-important skill of making life into a joke. These are
unexpected stories by a very fresh voice. These stories are
unforgettable.
