    About this audiobook

    In a world with an uncertain future, do you imagine for the best or for the worst case scenario? Twelve writers tackle extreme solarpunk utopias and apocalyptic or political dystopias—and the grey areas in between—in Biketopia, the fourth volume of the Bikes in Space series of feminist science fiction stories about bicycling. Some find love and fierce resistance in the end times; others imagine an ecological future of saving technology, with solarpunk ecotopian visions, at times paired with crushing social control. Whatever your own future or present reality, these stories will motivate and inspire you to envision something different... and maybe even better.

    Editor's Note

    Badasses and bikes…

    This fourth installment of Blue’s “Bikes in Space” series offers bike-centric adventures with a feminist twist, which means there's nothing stereotypical about them. Expect a fair amount of speculative stories of dystopias. Some are light-hearted, some are devastating. Some include villainous men, some don’t include men at all. What all these short stories have in common is badass women and their bikes, which act as symbols of freedom and empowerment.
