The Daily Tomorrow
Description
We publish stories which are high-concept without being gimmicky. Which are about science as well as about technology. Which are populated by familiar people living under unfamiliar conditions. We publish fun stories, thinky stories, sad stories, and hopeful stories. We publish stories we think you'll love.
We have a preference for stories that bring a new idea to the genre and explore it efficiently in a story with compelling characters. Whether the novelty is an interesting idea from biology, grounding in an underrepresented culture, or the decision to focus on an ordinary worker at the ray gun factory -- that's up to you.
