“Magic matters to people. Fairy tales matter. They’re all coming true.”
Thus opens the cover text on the inside flap of my new book Future Bright, Future Grimm: Transhumanist Tales for Mother Nature’s Offspring. The sleekly jacketed hardcover version (due for release November 15th 2021 and available now for pre-order) features a beautifully evocative fairy-tale frame design by Korean/German illustrator Yeonwoo Baik.
Simon Goddard, author of pop-bio dazzlers Mozipedia and Ziggyology, distills the essence of the book in his cover quote:
MacLennan’s audacious hack on the Brothers Grimm is a vivid and unnerving collection of Cinderella science and Frog Prince philosophy – his morals sometimes inscrutable, but the spinning of his yarns never less than fiercely original.
