After the Orange: Ruin and Recovery
Elizabeth Ann Scarborough
Synopsis "After the Orange: Ruin and Recovery"
After the Orange? In this collection, a group of writers imagines the future by the time the alt-right and the current administration are no longer in charge, say 20 years or more into the future. Of course, science fiction writers have always tried to envision the future, but at this time, a lot of us don't like the picture we have to extrapolate from. Hard-won protections are being stripped away, putting the planet at risk as the US pulls its head in (while its leader shoots his mouth off) like a big old isolationist tortoise. Cruelty against immigrants (even those who have lived here since babyhood) is condoned, the Statue of Liberty's invitation is rescinded, and people are returned to their own countries to be murdered even though through heroic effort they finally made it to what used to be a safe place. The writers in this collection present a variety of stories, be it Brenda Coopers instant classic, Maybe the Monarchs, or John A. Pitts tension filled, The Last Flight of Captain Kittredge, there is a story here that will lay out the future with sometimes hope, sometimes despair, but always with the thought and excellent writing expected of professionals.
