Attention forward thinkers. Futurists. Imagineers. Re-wilders. This is the show for you! The VanderMeers—Ann and Jeff, a.k.a. The VanderWilds, ably abetted by sidekick Neo—edited THE book on science fiction: The Big Book of Science Fiction, to be exact. You will know him from the Southern Reach Trilogy, which is being reissued just in time to become a quartet with the release of Absolution. You will know her as the editor who revitalized Weird Tales to spark the current horror revival. Together, they curated The Weird and The New Weird (we would have called this show The Future is Weird, except that adjective is being delightfully deployed by the Dems to save, well, democracy right now). Oh, and they are attempting to drag Florida into the ecological future, one saved raccoon, one saved indigenous species at a time. 

We’re pretty sure Madeline Ashby is caught up with all things VanderWild as a sought-after futurist in this age of hyper change, crafting science fiction prototypes for Changeist, the Institute for the Future, the Smithsonian Institution, SciFutures, Nesta, The World Health Organization, and the World Bank. Her new novel, Glass Houses, is a gleefully decadent near future whodunit perfect for fans of Severance, The White Lotus, and Black Mirror.
