Across many worlds and many timelines, these stories depict the moments when people see the fascism in front of them for what it is, accept it as real, and make the choice to fight it. Who are the canaries in the coal mine? When can the long-hidden voice no longer be ignored? Anti-fascist rebellion can take many forms. A transgender woman living on an artificial satellite learns to reject oppression via poetry. A machine ethicist finds a way to dance with her gods in a surveillance state. An unlikely golem hears a new call to action. A jailed musician rediscovers the music of rebellion. Will you recognize fascism and join the rebellion? RECOGNIZE FASCISM will be available in ebook and paperback through a Kickstarter campaign running July 28 to August 28, 2020, and will be available through traditional vendors in October 2020.
