Welcome to TERRAFORM, an anthology of near-future stories that hone the predictive capacity of science fiction and seek new, vivid, and visceral ways to depict the future we're hurtling toward. TERRAFORM is the innovative speculative fiction destination founded for Vice Media by Brian Merchant and Claire L. Evans. As a digital publication, it has specialized in publishing vital, viral stories that confront the issues orbiting our everyday existence and take them to unsettling dimensions. Here in print for the first time, section by section - Watch/Worlds/Burn - TERRAFORM takes on surveillance, artificial intelligence, and climate collapse. With a potent roster of established names and rising talents - from Bruce Sterling, Ellen Ullman, Cory Doctorow, Jeff VanderMeer, and Omar El Akkad to E. Lily Yu, Elvia Wilk, Fernando A. Flores, Tochi Onyebuchi, and Gus Moreno - TERRAFORM translates the decay and anxiety that surround us into something else, something unexpected, something that burns like a beacon and upends the conventional ideas of where we'll end up next.
