In a mind-bending MITeen anthology, ten top YA authors use emerging technologies to explore startling new realities.
What does the future hold?
Ten speculative short stories by leading young-adult authors imagine what the world could be through the lens of technologies emerging today. When the modification industry transforms how humans look, sound, and interact, a nonbinary teen braves the “reinvention room” to accept a gift from the dead. In an accidental city in space, a young apprentice holds neighborhoods together with braided carbon filaments until distraction and inspiration arrive in the wake of a visitor.
Entitlement-fueled drug use alters the landscape of white privilege, robots remember the Earth, and corporate “walkers” stroll for unknown subscribers—until one hacks the system. In tales buzzing with possibility, hope, innovation, anger, and tenderness, Tasting Light offers a dazzling challenge to connect with open minds, hearts, and senses in a fast-changing world.
At once unsettling and moving, this crystalline collection will find or create a connection with its readers.
Each story is unique, brilliant, and brimming with hope…thoughtfully reimagines a gender-diverse future from an array of perspectives.
A diverse anthology showing hopeful futures imagined through the lens of technology. . . .A top-notch hard science fiction collection.
Tasting Light explores everyday coming-of-age issues, throwing in speculative curveballs. . . a great intro to a really diverse group of young adult authors!
