    About this ebook

    We love our dystopias. Dark societies call us with a twisty fascination. And yet. No matter how bad things get, there will always be people who refuse, rebel and survive. Enter these dystopian worlds inspired by the Singularity, designer medicine, a few all-too-possible oppressive ideologies and, of course, the plain-old end of the world.

    Collected here are seven stories of the world gone wrong in its hierarchies, ecology, governments, elite circles and controlling technologies from a science fiction and fantasy author known for her distinctive world-building.
