Future Fiction, anthology
I don't usually enjoy short stories on a regular basis as I prefer stories that keep me involved for long periods. Future Fiction, however, is an anthology filled with intriguing ideas of what the future might look like, and what that might mean for individuals in the future. The diversity of culture found in this book also played a part in keeping my interest. I would recommend this book for mature teens and up, for those who like to think out of the box.

I was provided with a copy of this book via Netgalley without obligations; thank you!

I could read an ARC of this book thanks to Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.
This anthology collects the best short fiction published in Italy by the editor Future Fiction and it displays authors from all over the world.
You can immediately perceive and compare the vast range of different sensitivities and matters dealt with by the authors: caregiving robots, maternity and teleportation, home automation and even the mating of giant pandas among the others.
The quality of these stories is very high but my favourite one (and by far) was "Proposition 23" by Efe Tokunbo for both the writing and the worldbuilding, a dystopia you will remember about and I can't wait to read more from this author.
Just read it!

A really good collection of short science fiction stories. I enjoyed all of the stories in this collection - my favorite was Grey Noise by Pepe Rojo, which is really a fantastic story. It was apparently published in 1996, which is kinda astonishing. I'd recommend this book for just this story alone, and all the other stories in this collection are great as well. Definitely recommend it for fans of science fiction.
