Out 8 October, my first science fiction anthology (as editor), for The MIT Press‘s ‘Twelve Tomorrows’ series, Deep Dream: Science Fiction Exploring the Future of Art. Wherein 10 writers imagine how art forms (and artists) might evolve, devolve, and transform across spacetime near and far, amid the myriad threats to all things creative. Featuring marvellous new and original stories by Samit Basu, Vajra Chandrasekera, Aliette de Bodard, Ganzeer, Cassandra Khaw, Lavanya Lakshminarayan, Sloane Leong, Bruce Sterling, Wole Talabi, Lavie Tidhar, showcasing the living, organic artwork of Diana Scherer (whose work graces the cover), and an intensive interview with Neil Clarke of Clarkesworld Magazine on the infection of generative AI within sff and more, by Archita Mittra. I’m grateful to MIT Press for the opportunity to edit the latest volume in this long-running and venerable series.
