The Future United States of America

What will the United States become? In Victor LaValle and John Joseph Adams’s new anthology, A People’s Future of the United States, they gathered a group of writers to answer the question using speculative fiction. Over at Electric Literature, LaValle discusses his thought process while editing the collection. “In the case of this anthology we took it for granted that if we invited a genuinely diverse group of wildly talented writers into the anthology, we would see wildly diverse pictures of the future. Somewhere in the world, someone always has a boot on their neck. That’s true of the past, and the present, and will be true of the future, too.”
