Our backers and supporters are what have made the Mothersound Anthology possible. Android Press ran a successful crowdfunding last year and one of the backer perks (and a perk for us!) was having a meet and greet and Q&A with some of those backers.

Saturday evening (depending on where we all were in the world) was a great time to chat to our backers, speak about our world and the various projects on the go.

Thank you to everyone who was on the video call:

Wow so stoked that an Android Press book made this list!

Climate fiction, or cli-fi for short, continues to seep into the mainstream, with the global warming themes in Game of Thrones, the rise of the post-apocalyptic novel, and the solarpunk and Afrofuturistic elements of Black Panther, for example.

From eco- and hopepunk to q***r futurism and global warming to pollution, cli-fi melds the past, present, and future seamlessly, rooting each story in Earth, rather than some faraway place.

Cli-fi makes the climate crisis and environmental issues more accessible and often centers on collective action and radical imagination.

It offers escapism and expands not just the possibilities of storytelling but also activism and climate solutions.

Three figures that looked like their bodies were made of pure silver stood before him, holding bowls.
“Welcome, Sâkoukou. You have been activated.” They said. “Drink, to recover data from your previous iterations.”
Yah-yah’s first instinct was to refuse, but even before he could turn, the liquids in the bowls reduced until they were empty. A word flashed in his mind, and he knew who he was.
Sâkoukou.
A wolf-howler.
An assassin.
