We stand on the brink of one of the greatest ecological disasters of our
time - the world is warming and seas are rising, and yet water is life;
it brings change. Where one thing is wiped away, another rises.
Drowned Worlds looks at the future we might have if the oceans rise -
good or bad. Here you'll find stories of action, adventure, romance and,
yes, warning and apocalypse. Stories inspired by Ballard's The Drowned
World, Sterling's Islands in the Net, and Ryman's The Child Garden;
stories that allow that things may get worse, but remembers that such
times also bring out the best in us all. Multi-award winning editor
Jonathan Strahan has put together sixteen unique tales of deluged worlds
and those who fight to survive and strive to live.
