The Raidcal SF Bundle - Curated by Nick Mamatas

Science fiction is the genre of change. There can be any number of SF plots, and a dizzying array of SF themes, and plenty of themes, but the genre is almost definitionally about the status quo collapsing and something new taking its place. History will never end, and the future lasts forever.

Change is most dramatic when it's radical—when it starts at the very root of society, or what we know about science. The Radical SF Bundle collects stories that explore these roots, and pull them out of the thematic ground. The only constant is flux, the only guarantee is that nothing will ever be the same again.

Amazingly, these radical visions have also proven to be predictive. Cara Hoffman's Ruin presages the world events filling our screens and thoughts right now. Meg Elison's almost supernatural weight-loss pill is available for prescription from your local physician. James Patrick Kelly's Burn is about a planet aflame, and for sale. And these tales are just the beginning. There are multiple utopias of the future...and the past, shocking short fiction, outspoken interviews, and much more.

Ready to change the world? Buy the bundle, and support the border-hopping health charity Médecins Sans Frontières while you're at it! – Nick Mamatas
