About this product
Product Information
Hopeful and forward-looking futuristic short stories that explore how the power of storytelling can help create the world we need. Afterglow is a stunning collection of original short stories in which writers from many different backgrounds envision a radically different climate future. Published in collaboration with Grist, a nonprofit media organisation dedicated to telling stories of climate solutions, these stirring tales expand our ability to imagine a better world. Afterglow draws inspiration from a range of cutting-edge literary movements including Afrofuturism, hopepunk, and solarpunk -- genres that uplift equitable climate solutions and continued service to one's community, even in the face of despair. The Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, disabled, feminist, and queer voices in this collection imagine intersectional worlds in which no community is left behind. Whether through abundance or adaptation, reform, or a new understanding of survival, these stories offer flickers of hope, even joy, as they provide a springboard for exploring how fiction can help create a better reality. Afterglow welcomes a diverse range of new voices into the climate conversation to envision the next 180 years of equitable climate progress. A creative work rooted in the realities of our present crisis, Afterglow presents a new way to think about the climate emergency -- one that blazes a path to a clean, green, and more just future. 'This is a glorious book that challenges our conceptions of bookmaking as much as it questions our conceptions of world-building. We, as earthlings, will be better to the earth after experiencing this book. That is not hyperbole.' -- New York Times bestselling author Kiese Laymon

Reviews
Praise for Afterglow: "[Afterglow] approaches climate change with hope for the radically different futures humans might create." -- The New York Times Book Review "This short story collection radiates radical imagination. . . . If you're feeling bouts of climate anxiety or even apocalypse fatigue, Afterglow will remind you to keep the faith." --Sierra magazine "The twelve stories in the anthology Afterglow: Climate Fiction for Future Ancestors . . . take readers into the future and across the globe to witness how humanity has persevered in the face of climate-crisis-induced destruction." --ZYZZYVA "This sparkling anthology of 12 climate fiction stories distinguishes itself with its hopeful bent. . . . Offering a glimpse at imagined futures across the globe, this is a welcome lift to the spirits to those who may be struggling to see any brightness amid climate fears." -- Publishers Weekly "The art of storytelling is not only an act of memory and imagination, but one of hope and faith. These vivid and provocative stories represent a dreaming, a collective vision of future worlds where humanity has gathered itself, shared resources and wisdom, to arrive at a place of intentional action, health, and thriving. It is no small feat on the page or beyond to engage in such brave work. The tales of Afterglow offer the glimmers of possibility, the hard choices to be made, and the radiance of worlds not yet known but deeply needed." --Sheree Renée Thomas, author of Black Panther: Panther's Rage and Nine Bar Blues "Ultimately, I hope these stories reveal how our imaginations can help build a better reality--not only to serve as a guiding light, but to serve as a balm for these current, difficult times." --Morgan Jerkins, bestselling author of This Will Be My Undoing, Praise for Afterglow: "This sparkling anthology of 12 climate fiction stories distinguishes itself with its hopeful bent. . . .

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
