Our Summer 2020 issue features three original short stories, which hail from Canada, Pakistan, and Sweden. Michèle Laframboise’s “Cousin Entropy” was originally written in French and appeared in Galaxies magazine. Our own associate editor N. R. M. Roshak was won over by the siren’s call of literary translation and helped us to share this far-flung space opera reminiscent of Liu Cixin’s books with you, dear reader.

“Sunstrewn” is another interstellar adventure, but this one deals with the issues of colonization, and the much-closer-to-home conflict between India and Pakistan. This is Murtaza Mohsin’s first published story, but I’m confident it won’t be his last.

Filip Wiltgren returns to the pages of Future SF with an epistolary story about love and physics, but mostly about love. He packs quite a punch into very few words.

Starting with this issue, we welcome award-winning writer, academic, and journalist Paul Levinson to our staff. Paul will review international films and TV shows in his new column, “The Other Reel.” We have many more stories and articles to share with you, but we can only do so with sufficient support from our readers.
