PRAISE FOR TORONTO 2033<\/h3>\n

\u201c\u0007Toronto can feel like it\u2019s controlled by \u2018a bored social science researcher with their thumb on the fast-forward button\u2019 (to quote William Gibson), but when science fiction writers use that high-speed reality to tell futuristic tales, it brings the city into focus: diverse, fraught, endangered, strong. A book for our moment and our city.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u2022 Cory Doctorow, co-editor of Boing Boing<\/em><\/a>, science fiction author<\/p>\n

\u201c\u0007It made me laugh, it made me think, it made me imagine alternate possibilities. It made me wonder if we don\u2019t need a Department of Speculative Fiction at city hall helping guide the city, alongside the planners and accountants and lawyers.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u2022 Edward Keenan, urban affairs columnist<\/a>, The Toronto Star<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

ABOUT TORONTO 2033<\/h3>\n

To celebrate Spacing<\/em> magazine’s 15th anniversary, we decided to look 15 years into the future. Back in December 2003, when we launched Spacing<\/em> at The 360 on Queen West, we had no idea that our publication would still be thriving 15 years later. When our editors began to compile all of the different changes Toronto has undergone in that time period, we quickly realized that it would much more interesting to look forward than to look back.<\/p>\n

The result is Toronto 2033<\/em>, a collection of ten short fiction stories from a wide range of local sci-fi authors. Led by editor Jim Munroe, our authors speculate how the city and its residents will deal with numerous challenges: heat waves and rising lake water, gated neighbourhoods and suspicious neighbours, and memories of a global pandemic that tinge everyday interactions. Digital artist Mathew Borrett brings to life each story with ten remarkable illustrations of a future Toronto.<\/p>\n

An additional five digital stories \u2014 two podcasts and three short films \u2014 will be published on the Toronto2033.com<\/a> website (set to launch on Nov. 28th).<\/p>\n

AUTHORS<\/strong>: Zainab Amadahy,  Madeline Ashby, Al Donato, Kristyn Dunnion, Elyse Friedman, Paul Hong, Elan Mastai, Mari Ramsawakh, Karl Schroeder, Peter Watts<\/p>\n

EDITOR<\/strong>: Jim Munroe; ILLUSTRATOR: Mathew Borrett; CREATIVE DIRECTOR: Matthew Blackett<\/p>\n
