"SHINE", O ANTOLOGIE DE SF OPTIMIST

Pe copertă scrie "optomistic" dar dincolo de o greșeală de ortografie sper ca tonalitatea textelor antologiei să fie optimist-lucidă și nu debordant optimistă precum antologiile SF binecunoscute din trecut care-și propuneau programatic să fie mobilizatoare în lupta pentru pace și o galaxie mai bună !

"SHINE is a collection of near-future, optimistic SF stories where some of the genres brightest stars and some of its most exciting new talents portray the possible roads to a better tomorrow. Definitely not a plethora of Pollyannas (but neither a barrage of dystopias), SHINE will show that positive change is far from being a foregone conclusion, but needs to be hardfought, innovative, robust and imaginative. Most importantly, it aims to demonstrate that while times are tough and outcomes are uncertain, we can still bend the future in benevolent ways if we embrace change and steer its momentum in the right direction. Let´s put the ´can´ back in “We can do it”, and make our tomorrows SHINE." - Jetse de Vries, autor și editor olandez
