Issue 10 Table of Contents

Behold the Table of Contents for Issue 10, our much-anticipated “Governments” issue, which goes on sale May 12. This collection of stories was born of frustration and weighs heavy, featuring seven speculative tales with a great deal to say about the state of this world and others. The old “body politic” trope must still wear flesh even today, because bodies are very present in the physical sense here. Discover a quasi-classical Greece and a quasi-Kafkascape part familiar and part weird; fiefdoms and kingdoms that gleam and devour; totalitarian states and village councils and UN conventions in a not-so-distant future, just as Earth verges on first contact.
