The fall issue of Future Science Fiction Digest is packed with fifty thousand words of fiction from the United Kingdom, Russia, the United States, China, Sweden, and Italy.
The primary theme for this issue is “Alien Invasion.” While this theme may evoke well-worn tropes from military science fiction novels, games, and movies, I thought there were quite a few novel and interesting ways to approach the subject, and our writers didn’t disappoint. They examined the theme from every angle, from Bachilo’s nihilistic horror to Resnick’s irreverent humor, delivering stories that dig deeper than one might expect.
As with the previous volume, we close the issue with a pair of off-theme stories. Stephen S. Power tackles the very contemporary theme of automation while Camparsi examines religion in a near-future science fiction setting.
Happy reading!
