LOVE AFTER THE END MMPB

TWO-SPIRIT UTOPIAS & DYSTOPIAS

What are the adventures that lie beyond the end of our world? In a perfect world, how do we grow? In an imperfect world, how do we resist? Fantasy and sci-fi rarely imagine futures with Indigenous nations and cultures as they are today, preferring alien civilizations as subpar metaphors. Similarly, issues of gender fluidity are excused by being part and parcel of magical beings instead of human HEROes. In this collection of stories, we showcase a variety of stories by Indigenous authors imagining different possible futures of our world, told through the lens of the 2SQ (Two-Spirit & queer) HEROes in the lead roles.
