Description
for anyone who loves science fiction, who cares about neurodiversity, or who wants to see optimistic visions of the future.
Many of these stories are told from an authentic neurodiverse #ownvoices perspective, featuring characters whose experiences and reactions are informed by authors who share their neurodivergent ways of thinking and being, and we are proud to bring you this anthology celebrating neurodiversity.
Among our experienced authors, we are proud to feature:
- Tobias S. Buckell, author of Shoggoths in Traffic, brings us “The Pipefitter,” which explores the benefits and drawbacks of ADHD in a far-future fight for survival against aliens who are merciless—and a neurotypical world that is unbending.
- M. D. Cooper, creator of the Aeon 14 universe, gives us “The Zeta Remnant,” in which competent explorers train themselves to make good decisions regardless of whether they are autistic or not—and M.D.’s autistic, so she’d know.
- Ada Hoffmann, author of the Outside trilogy, brings us “Music, Not Words,” which depicts the struggle autistic people face to be heard clearly—and speculates that, sometimes, the words themselves could be the problem.
- Jody Lynn Nye, author of forty novels, a hundred stories, and The Dragonlover’s Guide to Pern, gives us “A Hint of Color,” which shines a light on how synesthesia could reveal aliens that neurotypical people might not even recognize.
- Cat Rambo, author of You Sexy Thing, Nebula Award finalist, and former president of SFWA, surprises us with “Scary Monsters, Super Creeps,” which explores how superheroes and supervillians fighting in the streets could be the worst place in the world for someone with anxiety—or the best.
