[Cover Reveal]: Multispecies Cities

2/3/2021

2 Comments

 
Cities are alive, shared by humans and animals, insects and plants, landforms and machines. What might city ecosystems look like in the future if we strive for multispecies justice in our urban settings? In these more-than-human stories, twenty-four authors investigate humanity’s relationship with the rest of the natural world, placing characters in situations where humans have to look beyond their own needs and interests.

A quirky eco-businessman sees broader applications for a high school science fair project. A bad date in Hawai‘i takes an unexpected turn when the couple stumbles upon some confused sea turtle hatchlings. A genetically-enhanced supersoldier struggles to find new purpose in a peaceful Tokyo. A community service punishment in Singapore leads to unexpected friendships across age and species. A boy and a mammoth trek across Asia in search of kin. A Tamil child learns the language of the stars.

Set primarily in the Asia-Pacific, these stories engage with the serious issues of justice, inclusion, and sustainability that affect the region, while offering optimistic visions of tomorrow's urban spaces.

Multispecies Cities: Solarpunk Urban Futures will be out in ebook and paperback on April 13, 2021! Preorder your copy now at the links below.

About the Anthologists

Christoph Rupprecht (he/him) is a geographer based in Japan. When he’s not researching food, agriculture, green space, degrowth and solarpunk with a more-than-human lens, you might find him reading science fiction, hanging out with plants, trying to make cheese, or taking a nap. He believes the imagination holds the key for jointly building sustainable and just futures for all life.

Deborah Cleland (she/her) is an activist/ acrobat/academic, with all the compromise and circuitous life paths that those slashes imply. She dabbles in interactive theatre and games, site-specific place-making and creative non-fiction, hoping to bring her research into social justice, inclusion and sustainability to life through writing and performance.

Rajat Chaudhuri (he/him) is a bilingual author, environment columnist and climate activist. His works include novels, short story collections, translations, and an Asian speculative fiction anthology, curated and introduced by him. His most recent novel, The Butterfly Effect was twice listed by Book Riot as a ‘Fifty must read eco-disasters in fiction’ and among ‘Ten works of environmental literature from around the world’. Chaudhuri has been a British Council Charles Wallace fellow. He is currently working on narratives for a co-created video game about alternative climate futures while an anthology of translated Bengali poetry is forthcoming. Chaudhuri lives and writes in Calcutta.

Norie Tamura (she/her) is a social scientist in Japan, researching agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. After working as a consultant in those areas, she moved to academia. Growing up in the Western Japan metropolitan area, she repeatedly discovered alternative universes in rural areas, and came to realize that knowing and experiencing a different world is the key to envisioning a different future.

Sarena Ulibarri (she/her) is a graduate of the Clarion Fantasy and Science Fiction Writers’ Workshop at UCSD, and earned an MFA from the University of Colorado, Boulder. Her fiction has appeared in Lightspeed, DreamForge, GigaNotoSaurus, and elsewhere. A personal essay on gardening during the pandemic appeared in Strange Horizons, and you can listen to her ranting about solarpunk on about half a dozen podcasts, including Imaginary Worlds, Alan and Jeremy vs SF, and Yale Climate Connections. She has edited two anthologies of optimistic climate fiction, Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers (2018) and Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Winters (2020).
