At the intersection of Soonish and Netflix's Black Mirror, award-winning science fiction authors from around the world offer original tales of relationships in a future world of evolving technology.

In a future world dominated by the technological, people will still be entangled in relationships--in romances, friendships, and families. This volume in the Twelve Tomorrows series considers the effects that scientific and technological discoveries will have on the emotional bonds that hold us together. The strange new worlds in these stories feature AI family therapy, floating fungitecture, and a futuristic love potion. Contributions include Xia Jia's novelette set in a Buddhist monastery, translated by the Hugo Award-winning writer Ken Liu; and a story by Nancy Kress, winner of six Hugos and two Nebulas.

Industry Reviews

"Pairing scientific precision with emotional insight, this accessible anthology makes a powerful case for featured author Nancy Kress's assertion that 'stories are made out of and for people.' Readers will be captivated."

-Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

"The 10 very different thought experiments presented in this volume make for a fun ride, revealing that human relationships will continue to be as complicated and affirming in the future as they are today. I would recommend the Netflix approach to this highly readable collection: Binge it in one go, preferably with a friend."

-Science

"All told, Entanglements is a massively successful anthology, one which should put MIT Press on everyone's radar."

-Lightspeed

"These books are always something to look forward to..."
-Locus
