Palestine + 100: Stories From a Century After the Nakba

Palestine + 100: Stories From a Century After the Nakba

Futures Past: Book 2

Basma Ghalayini

Palestine + 100 poses a question to twelve Palestinian writers: what might your country look like in the year 2048 -- a century after the tragedies and trauma of what has come to be called the Nakba? How might this event -- which, in 1948, saw the expulsion of over 700,000 Palestinian Arabs from their homes -- reach across a century of occupation, oppression, and political isolation, to shape the country and its people? Will a lasting peace finally have been reached, or will future technology only amplify the suffering and mistreatment of Palestinians?

Covering a range of approaches -- from SF noir, to nightmarish dystopia, to high-tech farce -- these stories use the blank canvas of the future to reimagine the Palestinian experience today. Along the way, we encounter drone swarms, digital uprisings, time-bending VR, peace treaties that span parallel universes, and even a Palestinian superhero, in probably the first anthology of science fiction from Palestine ever.Translated from the Arabic by Raph Cormack, Mohamed Ghalaieny, Andrew Leber, Thoraya El-Rayyes, Yasmine Seale and Jonathan Wright.

WINNER of a PEN Translates Award 2018
