Imagine the moment when the present ends, and the future
begins - when the world we knew is no more and a brave new
world is thrust upon us. Gathering stories by nine of
today's most incisive minds, Seeds of Change confronts the
pivotal issues facing our society today: racism, global
warming, peak oil, technological advancement, and political
revolution. Many serve as a call to action. How will you
change with the future? These nine stories sow seeds of
change across familiar and foreign territory, from our own
backyards to the Niger Delta to worlds not yet discovered.
Pepper, the mysterious mercenary from Tobias S. Buckell's
Crystal Rain and Ragamuffin, works as an agent for change -
if the price is right - in "Resistance." Ken MacLeod
envisions the end-game in the Middle East in "A Dance Called
Armageddon." New writer Blake Charlton imagines a
revolutionary advance in cancer research in "Endosymbiont."
Award-winning author Jay Lake tackles technological change
and the forces that will stop at nothing to prevent it in
"The Future by Degrees." Other stories by K.D. Wentworth,
Jeremiah Tolbert, Mark Budz, Ted Kosmatka, and Nnedi
Okorafor-Mbachu range from the darkly satirical to the
exotic. All explore the notion that change will come.
