Into the darkness within; or else the light....
When Margaret Atwood wrote these words, she left open the possibility that even our darkest tales may harbor a glimmer of hope. In 'OR ELSE THE LIGHT', the third and final entry in the Dystopia Triptych, more than a dozen of the best minds in science fiction conclude their stories with a descent into darkness, or perhaps a ray of light.
Edited by John Joseph Adams, Hugh Howey, and Christie Yant, the Dystopia Triptych is a series of three anthologies of dystopian fiction. I"Ignorance Is Strength" - before the dystopia - focuses on society during its descent into absurdity and madness. 'Burn the Ashes'' - during the dystopia - turns its attention to life during the strangest, most dire times. 'OR ELSE THE LIGHT' - after the dystopia - concludes the saga with each author sharing their own vision of how we as a society might crawl back from the precipice of despair.
'OR ELSE THE LIGHT' features all-new, never-before-published works by the following authors, in order of appearance: Carrie Vaughn, Tim Pratt, Rich Larson, Caldwell Turnbull, Karin Lowachee, Adam-Troy Castro, Caroline M. Yoachim, Hugh Howey, An Owomoyela, Seanan McGuire, Dominica Phetteplace, Alex Irvine, Tobias S. Buckell, Scott Sigler, Darcie Little Badge, Violet Allen, and Merc Fenn Wolfmoor.
