[sale] “The Earth of Yunhe” to SHINE

Normally this kind of news would call for a bottle of mead and festive animated GIFs, but I’m still a little sick and probably shouldn’t look at too many flashing lights.

(You can take a closer gander at the Amazon preorder page.)

Inside: over a dozen optimistic near-future SF stories, all imagining how humanity might grapple with twenty-first century problems instead of traipsing listlessly through another game of Fallout. The full table of contents will be revealed as part of a promotional contest on the Shine blog (check back there on November 30th for contest details), but several exceptionally cool writers’ names are right there on the cover: Alastair Reynolds, Holly Phillips, Kay Kenyon, and Jason Stoddard. More details to come in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned.
