Description

Hieroglyph: Stories & Visions for a Better Future is an anthology of optimistic science fiction from some of today's most hopeful visionaries.

"This collection could be the shot in the arm our imaginations need. It's an important book and not just for the fiction." -- Wall Street Journal

Born of an initiative at the Center for Science and the Imagination at Arizona State University, this remarkable collection unites a diverse group of celebrated authors, prominent scientists, and creative visionaries who contributed works of "techno-optimism" that challenge us to imagine fully, think broadly, and do Big Stuff -- reigniting the iconic visions of the golden age of science fiction.

Inside this volume are marvels of imagination and possibility, including a steel tower so tall that the stratosphere is just an elevator ride away... a drone-powered Internet... crowdfunded robots descending on the moon... cities that work like a single cell of algae powered entirely by the sun... and much more.

Engaging, mind-bending, provocative, and imaginative, Hieroglyph: Stories and Visions for a Better Future offers a forward-thinking approach to the intersection of art and technology that has the power to change our world.
