| Summary: | "Alternative Liberties gathers together some of the finest minds in speculative fiction to address the implications of politics in 2025 and beyond. Adam-Troy Castro presents a riveting story of a quiet citizen undergoing an increasingly surreal house arrest. Louise Marley writes from the perspective of a future academic who proposes a Ph.D. thesis about our times. Harry Turtledove gives us the tale of a woman enthralled by the Terrific Leader. In Brenda Cooper's "A Better President," a Black D.C. teenager, passing as white, accidentally plays a key role in a fascist riot. In the thoughtful "Afterward," David Gerrold presents an all-too-relatable figure: a man estranged from his neighbors in an increasingly paranoid society. Elwin Cotman gives us a hack writer who guts American literary classics to appeal to a contemporary rightwing audience. As frightening as our times appear, these writers envision daring, resistance, and hope."-- |
