In All the Just Cities, Antonia Antonopoulos takes us on an irreverent, satirical tour of fictional ideal societies, where we meet true believers who take social justice to thrilling, absurdist extremes. This collection of dystopian short stories mixes technology, science, and religion in surprising ways that stir up disturbing mocktails of good intentions gone sweet and sour.
In Baptism, an age-old sacrament is updated to purify us more effectively from our animal natures. Graduation gradually reveals the secret sauce to equality and social harmony. Penance reminds us of our eternal struggle for progress. Redemption lays out an ancient peace plan on a global bureaucratic scale. Finally, in Resurrection, Canada sacrifices itself to save the world. Enter at your own risk- the sacred will be slaughtered.
