Gordon Van Gelder
Forty years ago, Walt Kellyâ€™s comic strip character Pogo famously intoned: â€œWe have met the enemy, and he is us.â€ Now, as the evidence for climate change becomes overwhelming, we learn the hard reality behind that witticism. The possible destruction, and certain transformation, of the ecosphere has been brought about by our own activities., ,What will our new world look like? How will weâ€”can weâ€”adapt? The clash of a rapidly changing environment with earthâ€™s self-styled ruling species, humans, provides ample creative fodder for this riveting anthology of original science fiction. In ,Welcome to the Greenhouse,, award-winning editor Gordon Van Gelder has brought together sixteen speculative stories by some of the most imaginative writers of our time. Terrorists, godlike terraformers, and humans both manipulative and hapless populate these pages. The variety of stories reflects the possibilities of our future: grim, hopeful, fantastic and absurd.
