The United States is divided, blue states against red states. In the wake of the 2004 Presidential election the citizens of America take matters into their own hands, and secession becomes reality. In this volume of fiction, you will find tales that address the question: what if the blue states left the republic? What if the greatest country in the world split up? What would this mean for the rest of the world? How would the parts of the former USA fare in a new world where they’re no longer the single superpower? What would this startling future hold? Read stories by Paul Di Filippo, Robert Lopresti, Tara Kolden, Douglas Lain, Carole McDonnell, Gene Stewart, C.J. Henderson, Cody Goodfellow, Edward J. McFadden III, David Bartell, J. Stern, Patrick Thomas, Ruth Nestvold & Jay Lake, K.M. Praschak, Michael Jasper, Erin Fitzgerald, Paul G. Tremblay, Darby Harn, and Seth Lindberg. Join these authors as they let their frustrations seethe, and discover the new world order.
