A bold new anthology born of rage and sorrow and hope. 30 writers look at what today's politics and policies will do to shape our world a generation from now. Some of today's most visionary writers of science fiction project us forward to the world of the future; a world shaped by nationalism, isolationism, and a growing divide between the haves and have nots. This anthology sits at the intersection of politics, speculative fiction, and American identity. The choices we make today; the policies of our governments and the values that we, as people, embrace are going to shape our world for decades to come. Or break it. Edited by Cat Rambo, the current President of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, the stories of If This Goes On invite you to worlds very like this one-- but just a little different. Including: "Green Glass: A Love Story" by Lily Yu, Hugo and World Fantasy Award nominee, and winner of the 2012 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, filters the future of now through a wholly relatable lens: relationships and marriage. Hugo-winning editor Scott Edelman's "The Stranded Time Traveler Embraces the Inevitable" expertly employs an age-old science fiction convention to tell a deeply human tale of love, loss, and desperate hope. Streaming our everyday lives has become commonplace, but in "Making Happy" Zandra Renwick examines a very uncommon consequence of broadcasting your every experience. Former Minnesota Viking and noted equal rights advocate Chris Kluwe's "The Machine" deals with one of the most important and hotly contested questions of the day: what truly defines citizenship and American identity? Nebula winner Sarah Pinsker's "That Our Flag Was Still There" uses possibly the most powerful symbol in American iconography to create a frightening and darkly illuminating vision of freedom of speech. NAACP Image Award winner for Outstanding Literary Work Steven Barnes offers up the consequences of integrating technology and surveillance into our daily lives with his detective story "The Last Adventure of Jack Laff: The Dayveil Gambit" And two dozen more of today's best authors offer If This Goes On, the science fiction future of today.… (altro)

Speculative fiction collection focused on trends in the US given the 2016 elections. Would have been better without the on-the-nose explanations of what you just read from the editor. Some nice variants, though, including Priya Sridhar’s Mustard Seeds and the Elephant’s Foot, about old myths returning under newer conditions. ( )
