Citizens of Nowhere: An Anthology of Utopic Fiction

by Rowan B. Fortune (Editor), Nina Anana (Contributor), Fiona Ashley (Contributor)

'For me, to be a citizen of nowhere is to be uncertainly poised between those challenges [we face today] and a defiant hope that, five hundred years on from Moore's great contribution to literature, can rightly call itself utopian.'

Thomas Moore's no-place that might be anywhere, anywhen, Utopia, has haunted our imaginations for over 500 years. Dismissed as a lost realm in this Age of Despair, Citizens of Nowhere offers route maps to this place where our ideals and our lives can coincide. Now more than ever, we need the hope of utopia. Citizens of Nowhere reminds us that it is never far away.

Finding utopias within sci-fi, horror, romantic fantasy and modernist fiction, Citizens of Nowhere brings together stories from: Nina Anana, Fiona Ashley, Sonya Blanck, Rowan B. Fortune, Ben Jacob, George Lea, Greg Michaelson, Jez Noond, James Perrin, Diana Powell, Omar Sabbagh and Robin Lindsay Wilson.

very hit and miss with these short stories. some were beautifully written, but most i found dragged on despite being short. a lot didnt really stand out to me in how they were written or their message, but the ones i liked were really good
