About this ebook

The world is gone, destroyed by human, ecological, or supernatural causes. Survivors dodge chemical warfare and cruel gods; they travel the reaches of space and inhabit underground caverns. Their enemies are disease, corrupt corporations, and one another; their resources are few and their courage is tested.

Powerful original dystopian tales from nine bestselling authors offer bleak insight, prophetic visions, and precious glimmers of light among the shards and ashes of a ruined world.

Ratings and reviews

Its been a while since I read this but I remember being extremely disappointed that most(if not all) were only short stories and not books. THEY ARE JUST SO GOOD!

I've read countless books in my life and more than a few anthologies and this is definitely one of the best...if you love dystopian fiction and amazing authors then you must read this (even if you don't love those things, read this!), I'm depressed that it's over...greatly wish these guys would write companion novels that tie-in to these short-stories...LOVED IT!!!!

Kinda hate shifting stories and characters, but their were so many good ones
