If Black Mirror showed you the nightmare, White Mirror shows you the dream.
“The universe isn’t just very old, remember, it’s also very young.”
In a marketplace crowded with dystopian tales, White Mirror dares to imagine something different: a science fiction anthology filled with bold visions of hope, adventure, and the farthest frontiers of thought.
This collection of thirty-one short sci fi stories about the future follows the many lives of Lucilius - an explorer, inventor, and all-round Renaissance man of civilizations yet to come. From the edges of the cosmos to the innermost workings of the human mind, Tinkered Thinking takes us on a journey that is as visionary and modern as it is timeless. For fans of scifi books, this anthology offers both the thrill of adventure and the spark of new ideas, taking the reader beyond the boundaries of art and science in the search for new answers to humanity’s oldest questions:
Where did we come from?
Where are we going?
Why are we here?
The stories span the spectrum of speculative fiction, from cosmic adventures to intimate explorations of consciousness. They resonate with the intellectual depth of philosophical fiction, the elegance of literary science fiction, and the optimism of hopepunk sci fi, a rare counterpoint to the endless parade of dystopias.
For readers of Ted Chiang, Borges, and Calvino, White Mirror stands at the crossroads of imagination and inquiry. If you seek sci fi books for adults that challenge and inspire, this collection is both a mirror and a map to what civilization might yet become.
