Tomorrowland by Joseph Bates
5.0
The stories in Tomorrowland mix the mundane and the surreal, delivering time travel narratives and alternate universes filled with memorable losers, like Raymond Carver writing dispatches from somewhere on the fringes of the Twilight Zone. It's an impressive collection, especially when it plays around with sci-fi memes like it does in "Future Me," in which the protagonist meets a future version of himself who's traveled back in time to set his younger self straight with results both poignant and hilarious.
Other highlights include "How We Made a Difference," a deft little political satire, and "Yankees Burn Atlanta," in which a group of middle-aged baseball fantasy campers get a lesson in humility on the baseball diamond.
