This collection of short stories is the perfect introduction to the dystopian and utopian genres. Stories of a grisly ritual lottery designed to ensure a good harvest, a feminist utopia, a society where a personal assistant app robs users of freewill, and people dealing with the aftermath of a climate change apocalypse, provide insights into the societal concerns of the times in which they were written.

Drawn from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, and by authors such as Begum Rokeya, Shirley Jackson, Franz Kafka, Dilman Dila, Ken Liu and others, the collection offers readers the opportunity to broaden their understanding of different perspectives, to reflect about the world that they live in, and think critically about how society might evolve.It is ideal for use in the KS3 and KS4 (11-16) classroom and will also support delivery of a more diverse [KS3 and KS4] curriculum.
