The World Glitches For Me

by Academy for Young Writers Students

Finally an anthology devoted to science fiction! All the usual suspects await with unique twists that keep eyes glued close to the page! Featuring: dream worlds, cryogenic sleep, amnesia, alternate-universe doppelgängers, portals, and Bug Boys.

From the publisher: “Would a smart house take advantage of its residents? Are self-driving cars actually safe? What famous person would you choose to cryogenically freeze and bring back to life in 1,000 years? In The World Glitches for Me, students at the Academy for Young Writers in Brooklyn, New York, push the boundaries of sci-fi storytelling in unexpected (and hilarious) ways. You’ll read about eyeball and popcorn planets, clones reflecting our true and perhaps evil identities, and multiverses that ask: Does an advanced world actually strengthen human connection?”
