Synopsis

This groundbreaking anthology gathers stories from Iraqi writers, both within the nation and across the diaspora, to imagine their home country in the year 2103, a century after a devastating foreign invasion. Using science fiction, allegory, and magical realism, these tales challenge perceptions and offer a deeply human look at a future shaped by past events. Born from exhaustion and despair, the stories are also woven with themes of love, family, endurance, and a delicate thread of hope.
