"Biketopia: Feminist Bicycle Science Fiction Stories" Elly Blue, Editor

Vorgrik says: Very good condition. Microcosm Press, 2017

In a world with an uncertain future, do you imagine for the best or for the worst case scenario? Twelve writers tackle extreme solarpunk utopias and apocalyptic or political dystopias—and the grey areas in between—in Biketopia, the fourth volume of the Bikes in Space series of feminist science fiction stories about bicycling. Some find love and fierce resistance in the end times; others imagine an ecological future of saving technology, with solarpunk ecotopian visions, at times paired with crushing social control. Whatever your own future or present reality, these stories will motivate and inspire you to envision something different... and maybe even better.

"This themed anthology takes a piece of practical tech we have now—the bicycle—and casts it into an array of imagined futures: utopian, dystopian, horrifying, funny, sweet, and more. Stationary bikes, road bikes, racing bikes, and bikes rescued from canals all get to play central roles, often in stories of escape or rescue. It was fun to see all the imaginative ways the authors could find to use this marvel of efficiency in futuristic settings. There’s even a darling wordless cartoon of a pedal-bookmobile librarian finding love on the bike path. If you’re a fan of bikes, sci-fi, short fiction, or all three, check this one out!"
