Fonda Lee's \"Old Souls\" explores the role of violence and redemption across time and space; Rachael K. Jones's \"The Night Bazaar for Women Turning into Reptiles\" touches on gender oppression and a woman's right to choose; Molly Gloss's \"Wenonah's Gift\" imagines coming-of-age in a post-collapse culture determined to avoid past wrongs; and Lidia Yuknavitch's \"Neuron\" reveals that fairy tales may, in fact, be the best way to understand the paradoxes of science. Other contributors include Curtis Chen, Kesha Ajọsẹ-Fisher, Juhea Kim, Tina Connolly, David D.
