Science fiction happens everywhere! This is why it’s about time we reloaded the future we’ve known so far with visions from a much wider selection of voices, languages and backgrounds: it’s about time we moved from the old “Sense of Wonder” to the new “Sense of Wander” – a useful concept that will allow us to discover the many hidden gems just waiting to be translated from languages other than English and cultures others than the Western one.

This second collection of short stories published on Future Fiction features 15 stories from 13 countries and translations from 5 different languages, including authors such as Vandana Singh, Chen Qiufan, Ian McDonald, K.A. Teryna, Anil Menon, Yudhanjaya Wijeratne, Stamatis Stamatopolous, Seyong Jeong, Martha Riva Palacio Obon, Renan Bernardo, Clifton Gachagua, Santiago Belluco, Hassan Abdulrazzak, and Morgan Swim. The translations are made by Stephanie Polakis (Greek), Alex Shvartsman (Russian), Emily Jin (Chinese), Sophie Bowman (Korean), Will Morningstar (Spanish).
