What will life be like in a climate-changed world? In \u003ci\u003eTomorrow's Parties\u003c\/i\u003e, science fiction authors speculate how we might be able to live and even thrive through the advancing Anthropocene. In ten original stories by writers from around the world, an interview with celebrated writer Kim Stanley Robinson, and a series of intricate and elegant artworks by Sean Bodley, \u003ci\u003eTomorrow's Parties\u003c\/i\u003e takes rational optimism as a moral imperative, or at least a pragmatic alternative to despair. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn these stories--by writers from the United Kingdom, the United States, Nigeria, China, Bangladesh, and Australia--a young man steals from delivery drones; a political community lives on an island made of ocean-borne plastic waste; and a climate change denier tries to unmask \"crisis actors.\" Climate-changed life also has its pleasures and epiphanies, as when a father in Africa works to make his son's dreams of \"Viking adventure\" a reality, and an IT professional dispatched to a distant village encounters a marvelous predigital fungal network.
