- Book Synopsis
- Revolutionary and visionary, these twenty-two speculative stories edited by Lambda, Nebula and Hugo finalist Lee Mandelo explore the vast potentialities of our queer and trans futures. USA Today Bestseller! From self-styled knights fighting in dystopian city streets to conservationists finding love in the Appalachian forests; from social media posts about domestic "bliss" in a lottery-based, state-housing skyscraper to herding feral cats off of one's scientific equipment; from street drugs that create doppelgangers to dance-club cruising at the edge of the galaxy-Amplitudes: Stories of Queer and Trans Futurity interrogates the farthest borders of the sci-fi landscape to imagine how queer life will look centuries in the future-or ten years from now. Filled with brutal honesty, raw emotions, sexual escapades, and delightful whimsy, Amplitudes speaks to the longstanding tradition of queer fiction as protest. This essential collection serves as an evolving map of our celebrations, anxieties, wishes, pitfalls, and-most of all-our rallying cry that we're here, we're queer-and the future is ours! Featuring stories by Esther Alter Bendi Barrett Ta-wei Chi, trans. Ariel Chu Colin Dean Maya Deane Dominique Dickey Katharine Duckett Meg Elison Paul Evanby Aysha U. Farah Sarah Gailey Ash Huang Margaret Killjoy Wen-yi Lee Ewen Ma Jamie McGhee Sam J. Miller Aiki Mira, trans. CD Covington Sunny Moraine Nat X. Ray Neon Yang Ramez Yoakeim
