The woman who can see all the possible branching futures is dating the man who can see the one and only foreordained future.

A wildly popular slapstick filmmaker is drawn, against his better judgment, into working with a fascist militia, against a background of social collapse.

Two friends must embark on an Epic Quest To Capture The Weapon That Threatens The Galaxy, or else they'll never achieve their dream of opening a restaurant.

A trans woman is captured by an agency that brutally forces detransition by means of brain transplants, only to discover that the person overseeing her case is her childhood friend. And in the liminal space between the warring fragments of what was once the United States, a mysterious bookstore is the place where all the incompatible realities can touch.

Here are delightful upendings of genre clichΓ©s, and heartfelt revitalisation of classic tropes. Here is social commentary with teeth, and here are scenes of pants-wettingly funny comedy. Here are characters and situations that, by their very outrageousness, achieve a heightened realism unlike any other. Here is one of the strongest voices in modern science fiction, the writer called by Andrew Sean Greer, β€˜this generation's Le Guin.’

Even Greater Mistakes by Charlie Jane Anders offers a collection of stories that push boundaries and challenges conventions, making it an unmissable read for fans of inventive and thought-provoking science fiction.
