About

So, this year’s contest call is perhaps the most open of any so far… all I’m asking of writers is that they show me a hopeful future made better by scientific advancement. Biotech, space travel, deep sea exploration, network technologies, interspecies communication, technologically-enabled abundance… the sort of boon you imagine for humankind doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you show us that there is still hope for tomorrow, and remind us that science is likely to lead the way to that better future.
