SynopsisIn a mind-bending MITeen anthology, ten top YA authors use emerging technologies to explore startling new realities. What does the future hold? Ten speculative short stories by leading young-adult authors imagine what the world could be through the lens of technologies emerging today. When the modification industry transforms how humans look, sound, and interact, a nonbinary teen braves the "reinvention room" to accept a gift from the dead. In an accidental city in space, a young apprentice holds neighborhoods together with braided carbon filaments until distraction and inspiration arrive in the wake of a visitor. Entitlement-fueled drug use alters the landscape of white privilege, robots remember the Earth, and corporate "walkers" stroll for unknown subscribers--until one hacks the system. In tales buzzing with possibility, hope, innovation, anger, and tenderness, Tasting Light offers a dazzling challenge to connect with open minds, hearts, and senses in a fast-changing world. With stories by: William Alexander K. Ancrum Elizabeth Bear A.R. Capetta Charlotte Nicole Davis Nasugraq Rainey Hopson A.S. King E.C. Myers Junauda Petrus-Nasah Wendy Xu
