Featuring new short stories by award-winning sci-fi writers who imagine the future of our ocean in honor of World Oceans Day, Xprize created Current Futures: A Sci-Fi Ocean Anthology, a collection of original short stories and artwork created by science fiction authors and artists set in a future when technology has helped unlock the secrets of the ocean.
This anthology takes readers on a “deep dive” into how some of today’s most promising innovations might positively impact the ocean in the future. Current Futures: A Sci-Fi Ocean Anthology includes new works from eighteen writers from around the world, along with original illustrations from eighteen artists, whose collective contributions comprise all seven continents, including a short story written while on an Antarctic expedition.
Within the collection, writers explore a diversity of topics including: technologies to rebuild coral reefs; neural implants that allow humans to communicate with dolphins via mind pictures; robots that use oil from the water to 3D print reproductions of themselves; man-made islands built to withstand hurricanes; augmented reality deep-sea expeditions and more.
