In its brief existence, Rosarium Publishing has worked hard in
"introducing the world to itself" through groundbreaking, award-winning
science fiction and comics. In combing the planet to find the best in
each field, Rosarium's own Bill Campbell has found a fellow spirit in
Italian publisher, Francesco Verso. Borrowing from the fine tradition of
American underground dance labels introducing international labels'
music to the people back home, Rosarium brings to you Future Fiction:
New Dimensions in International Science Fiction, a thrilling collection
of innovative science fiction originally published by Francesco Verso's
Italian company, Future Fiction. Here you will find thirteen incredible
tales from all around the globe that will not only introduce you to
worlds you may not be familiar with but also expand your horizons and
the horizons of the science fiction field itself.
Bill Campbell is the author of Sunshine Patriots, My Booty Novel, and
Pop Culture: Politics, Puns, "Poohbutt" from a Liberal Stay-at-Home Dad,
and Koontown Killing Kaper. Along with Edward Austin Hall, he co-edited
the groundbreaking anthology, Mothership: Tales from Afrofuturism and
Beyond as well as Stories for Chip: A Tribute to Samuel R. Delany (with
Nisi Shawl) and the Glyph Award-winning comic book anthology, APB:
Artists against Police Brutality (with Jason Rodriguez and John
Jennings). Campbell lives in Washington, DC, where he spends his time
with his family, helps produce audio books for the blind, and helms
Rosarium Publishing.
Francesco Verso is the author of several SF books in Italian and winner
of the Odyssey Award, The Cassiopea Award, and two Urania Mondadori
Awards. He's currently working on his latest book, I Camminatori, that
will deal with the consequences of the substitution of food with
nanotechnology. He is the editor of the mutlicultural Future Fiction
anthology series in Italian. He lives in Rome with his wife and
daughter.
