Accessing the Future
Accessing the Future | Djibril al-Ayad, Kathryn Allan
2 posts | 3 read | 7 to read
The fifteen authors and nine artists in this volume bring us beautiful, speculative stories of disability and mental illness in the future. Teeming with space pirates, battle robots, interstellar travel and genetically engineered creatures, every story and image is a quality, crafted work of science fiction in its own right, as thrilling and fascinating as it is worthy and important. These are stories about people with disabilities in all of their complexity and diversity, that scream with passion and intensity. These are stories that refuse to go gently.

I enjoyed reading this anthology. There were 2 stories I didn't really get on well with, but I liked the others. There were a couple that I really liked. I loved the disability representation in this anthology, and the diverse characters. I'm not a huge fan of short stories generally, but I did like the way disability was portrayed in these stories, in a non-ableist way. We need more books like this.
