War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. George Orwell once wrote of a world where abuse of power begins with an abuse of language and a bastardization of truth. Some of today's most exciting voices in speculative fiction explore the ramifications of those ideas in Ignorance Is Strength.

Decent stories, seemingly unaware of its own ironies

skewed
Reviewed: 10-13-21
I decided to finish this tryptich because of my need to finish things I've started, but I didn't like this anthology from the start. I really hoped it would get better but was even more skewed than the last. The approaches to race and gender are unrealistically one sided. Would not recommend!

Into the darkness within; or else the light.... When Margaret Atwood wrote these words, she left open the possibility that even our darkest tales may harbor a glimmer of hope. In Or Else the Light, the third and final entry in the Dystopia Triptych, more than a dozen of the best minds in science fiction conclude their stories with a descent into darkness, or perhaps a ray of light.

liked some stories, but overall felt like an LGBTQ indoctrination text. Whereas I have no issues with personal choice /orientation, what could have been an exceptional tryptich was overrun by this one theme.
