A strong collection of post apocalyptic and/or dystopian short stories -- they aren't all to my taste, but I appreciated the range of work, it's consistent good writing, and the great variety of imagination displayed. Excellent anthology. ( ) I enjoy post-apocalyptic fiction, and so I liked quite a number of stories in this anthology. An anthology of it gives a chance to explore a wide variety of different apocalypses -- from nanotechnology (Kiernan's "Fake Plastic Trees"), transgenic crops (Castellucci's "The Marker"), unexplained alien or supernatural interventions (Kressel's "The Great Game at the End of the World", Nix's "You Won't Feel a Thing"), plagues and political repression (Dunn's "Before"), zombies (Carrie Ryan's "After the Cure", which was great); environmental destruction (a lot of them), to guns and politics (Ford's "Blood Drive").
Ostensibly a collection of young adult stories with a post-apocalyptic or dystopian setting, these tales are remarkably sophisticated and intriguing, certainly more than good enough for the adult science fiction reader, and perhaps a bit much for readers much younger than their mid-teens. All posit extremely dark and hopeless futures in which authority is—rightfully—suspect. Hæderspriser
An anthology of nineteen tales by well-known authors of young adult and adult literature which explore the lives of teens raised after a catastrophe, either in the first few years after the change or in the distant future. No library descriptions found. |
