Rebuilding Tomorrow by Tsana Dolichva
5.0
This anthology is all of the things I never knew I wanted. Post-post-apocalyptic stories dealing with how to rebuild? Rebuilding society in ways that not only help people but all people? Refusing to give in to the cynicism of the past in order to show that there is a way forward?
God, I love these stories. The best label I could find for this collection is hopepunk, because all of these stories centre the idea of hope: things can and will be better. It's not an easy road, but it is a necessary one.
A few favourites that stand out: I Will Lead My People, by Janet Edwards; All the World in Seafoam Green, by Lauren Ring; Merry Shitmas, by Kristy Evangelista; The Science of Pacific Apocalypse, by Octavia Cade; The Rest Is, by Stephanie Gunn; Leaving Dreamland, by E.H. Mann; and Nothing But Flowers, by Katharine Duckett
