Ten acclaimed writers imagine the future of art across space and time.

Ten acclaimed writers imagine the future of art across space and time.

In this volume from the Twelve Tomorrows series, Deep Dream, ten writers imagine the different ways in which art forms might evolve, devolve, shift, and transform in the decades and centuries to come. They consider how the rapid progress of technology will interact with different mediums of art or give rise to new ones, and what the lives and inner worlds of different kinds of artists might look like in the future as they adapt to rapidly shifting eras amidst anthropogenic global threats like climate change and fascism.

Contributors include award-winning authors and artists from around the world, with a strong focus on South Asia; three of the contributors are from India or Sri Lanka. Readers will also find in this collection American science-fiction legend Bruce Sterling and Egyptian counter-cultural cartoonist, visual artist, and writer Ganzeer, as well as artist Diana Scherer, one of the pioneers in bio tech art. The volume also includes an interview with noted science fiction publisher and editor Neil Clarke, who discusses the future of art and the ways in which the science fiction short fiction market has responded to the introduction of AI-generated fiction and art.

Contributors Samit Basu, Vajra Chandrasekera, Neil Clarke, Aliette de Bodard, Ganzeer, Cassandra Khaw, Lavanya Lakshminarayan, Archita Mittra, Sloane Leong, Bruce Sterling, Wole Talabi, Lavie Tidhar. Artwork by Diana Scherer.

Reviews for Deep Dream: Science Fiction Exploring the Future of Art

“For this earnest and nuanced collection, Das brings together 10 writers to imagine artists, both human and non-, grappling with futuristic challenges, including generative AI and other ‘nascent technocapitalist singularities’ . . . Though some of the stories have an Edgar Allan Poe weariness about them, the collection as a whole offers plenty of hope. Fans of near-future sci-fi should check it out.” —Publishers Weekly
