Twenty-one unpleasant and inconvenient nightmares from Humanity’s future. Author Jaymes Shore’s fourth anthology of speculative fiction features satirical, bleak, and disturbing visions of greed, ignorance, and arrogance.
Humanity fails at every step as America blows up the moon for national security reasons (one small misstep for mankind), botches up a critical time travel mission (there are no smart phones in the past), transports oil infested with ancient hungry creatures through leaking pipelines, and houses the middle class in cardboard boxes.
Other blunders include a restaurant owner expanding into another dimension with deadly results, a disastrous first contact with a civilized alien world, Cloned replacements for elderly elitists, greedy terraformers, art that only the wealthy can gaze upon, a faith questioning virus, a president witnessing the consequences of his actions from the comfort of his one man lunar base, and other lunacies. Don’t be concerned; the great barrier will keep us safe, but safe from what?
Nothing can alter our fate, or the tragic loss of convenience coming in its wake. $2.99 on Kindle.
