SciFutures' City of the Future Anthology

by Dan Stout


In my time as a writer and storyteller, one of the most enjoyable projects that I've been a part of has been my work as a futurist for SciFutures. Pulling together Science Fiction authors and theorists, SciFutures helps organizations envision how their products and services may evolve in coming years, then creates functional prototypes to transform theory into reality. It’s really joyful work, and smoothly run by their Chief Futurist, Trina Phillips.

Now, SciFutures has released a collection of short stories, sharing glimpses of life in a city of the near-future. Edited by Trina and filled with stories by terrific authors, and topped off by a cover from one of my favorite designers, Holly Heisey.

If you want a glimpse of the future, or just want to sit back and read some great fiction, give The City of The Future a try.

I'm Dan Stout, a joyfully collaborative storyteller who loves rocket ships, dinosaurs, and monsters that skulk through shadows.
