About this listen
29 Brand-New Sci-Fi Horror Stories. The future is now, and it's not what we were promised. The optimistic science fiction of old was wrong. Progress is not linear, technology creates as many problems as it solves, and the concept of a better tomorrow has become an abstraction that is in no way guaranteed. When looking at the future now, we no longer ask what is possible, we wonder how we'll cope. Contained within this anthology are 29 never-before-published works by supremely talented authors. Brace yourself for the all too real horrors of what could very well be our terribly monstrous futures.

👀 these stories are twisted!
If you’re a fan of “The twilight zone” or “squid game” or “ the outer limits” or “cabinet of curiosities” then you’ll love these short stories. So many different authors all with different ways of expressing the mood and peoples motivations.
I can only listen to 1 story a day they’re that good and leave that much an impression on me!

Futures not so far away...
This is a good to great collection of dark fiction stories showing where humanity is headed. All the topics in the stories were spot on, and you can see everything explored is basically already happening around us.
There weren't any outright terrible stories, but a few definitely fizzled out and weren't as strong as the others. That is the nature of these huge collections, though, and I truly enjoyed most of them.
The stories include lots of robots going wrong as you'd expect, some wonderfully uncomfortable racism and genetic themes are explored, and they hit pretty hard, and of course, end-stage capitalism doing its destructive best to ruin our lives. Almost anything you can think of was brought up in the collection's twenty-nine tales.
Finally, the narrator was great and brought the stories to life with a variety of voices and accents. I was really impressed by them.

I did like a majority of the stories
Sometimes it was a bit difficult to distinguish between two characters and there was no clear transition between a few of the stories
