In Your Face

If you enjoyed the hit series, Black Mirror, you’ll be drawn to this anthology of twisted, sci-fi tales that touch on the hot political topics of today and the speculative social issues of tomorrow. 

•ANDROIDS & ANARCHY – A galactic bounty hunter races against the clock to keep an evil aristocrat from using his synthetic fiends to take over the universe.


Resistance Is Brutal by Chanta Rand takes current social issues and places them into sci-fi settings, mixing sociology and science fiction to create stories for readers to make sense of ongoing real-life events by challenging their perception of our culture:

THE UTERAL SUSPECTS features a future version of the #MeToo movement.

YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH shows dating in a world based on numbers, in which people are judged by their digits.

EXPERIENCING ETHICAL DIFFICULTIES highlights the influence celebrities have on young viewers, as well those attempting to control the celebrities.

A FORGONE ILLUSION uses advanced technology to remind readers, be careful what you wish for.

ANDROIDS & ANARCHY tackles gender identity on a galactic level, but it is merely a sample of a longer story not available within this anthology.

If Carl Jung and Ray Bradbury had a love child, the result might be Chanta Rand. I only wish she had included more stories within this flash fiction collection, but the author has definitely made her mark with this one.

As always,
