I posted about this anthology the other day. Are you involved with the publication? I am looking forward to reading the stories. I hope they are worthy. I can't help but think there's a lot riding on this.
Konsensus Network is the publisher.
I work with them on various projects at times and the folks involved are really friendly and just good peers all in all.
I highly recommend them.
Of course, I may be biased, as I'm also one of the authors in the book 21 Futures! :D

We talked about how I'm sci-fi agnostic at best. I am vowing to keep an open mind, so I'll give the anthology a chance. To me, it's risky to write in that genre. There's nothing worse than schlocky, second rate futuristic stories. Bitcoin is too important.

The book is not directed to bitcoiners alone. In fact, bitcoiners are a secondary market for us. The idea is to create compelling, high-stakes human interest stories that are somewhat related to bitcoin and libertarian ideals. It's an opening narrative for cajoling a wider audience by using great stories instead of bitcoin evangelism.
The stories are great, but as the publisher, I am obviously biased. Best to read them yourselves :)
