How might this event - which, in 1948, saw the expulsion of over 700,000 Palestinian Arabs from their homes - reach across a century of occupation, oppression, and political isolation, to shape the country and its people? Will a lasting peace finally have been reached, or will future technology only amplify the suffering and mistreatment of Palestinians? Covering a range of approaches - from SF noir, to nightmarish dystopia, to high-tech farce - these stories use the blank canvas of the future to reimagine the Palestinian experience today. Along the way, we encounter drone swarms, digital uprisings, time-bending VR, peace treaties that span parallel universes, and even a Palestinian superhero, in probably the first anthology of science fiction from Palestine ever."--Publisher. 505 0 $a Introduction / Basma Ghalayini -- Song of the birds -- Saleem Haddad -- Sleep it off, Dr Schott / Selma Dabbagh -- N / Majd Kayyal ; translated by Thoraya El-Rayyes -- The key / Anwar Hamed ; translated by Andrew Leber -- Digital nation / Emad El-Din Aysha -- Personal hero / Abdalmuti Maqboul ; translated by Yasmine Seale -- Vengeance / Tasnim Abutabikh -- Application 39 / Ahmed Masoud -- The association / Samir El-Youssef ; translated by Raph Cormack -- Commonplace / Rawan Yagho -- Final warning / Talal Abu Shawish ; translated by Mohamed Ghalaieny -- The curse of the Mud Ball Kid / Mazen Maarouf ; translated by Jonathan Wright. 546 $a Translated from the Arabic. 586 $a Winner of a PEN Translates Award 2018 650 0 $a Arabic literature $z Palestine $v Translations into English. 650 0 $a Arabic literature $y 21st century $v Translations into English. 650 0 $a Twenty-first century $v Fiction. $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Palestine $x Social life and customs $y 21st century $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Ghalayini, Basma, $e editor. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021020057.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100059.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210406015115.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2B87E7D65D1D11EA9B49BA2197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
