A collection by David Shaw Mackenzie
Four futures. Four reckonings. One question that refuses to die.
What does it mean to live in a world where death is reversible, truth is negotiable, and the future arrives whether we’re ready for it or not? In this haunting collection of speculative fiction stories, David Shaw Mackenzie explores the fragile boundaries between progress and consequence, identity and illusion, hope and despair.
The Truth about the Future but Mostly Lies: When a man becomes the first person resurrected decades after his death, he must confront a world that has moved on without him.
The Freedom Lottery: In a society that claims to offer absolute freedom, chance becomes law, and survival depends on winning a system designed to fail.
Infinity Will Be Arriving Soon: As humanity edges closer to limitless existence, the promise of forever begins to unravel, exposing the unbearable weight of eternity.
Face the Future: When the world demands optimism, one man’s journey through a transformed society reveals the darker realities lurking beneath its polished surface.
Blending sharp social commentary with unsettling visions of what lies ahead, Face the Future and other stories challenges readers to question not just where we’re going, but whether we should want to get there at all.
