Welcome to\u00a0The Dystopian States of America:<\/em>
\nA Charity Anthology\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Benefiting the ACLU Foundation<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"TheThis anthology features dystopian views of the future, for America and \/ or the entire world, should the current regime remain in power. And I use the word \u201cregime\u201d very pointedly, because while the executive branch of our government certainly makes for a ripe target, our authors were free to draw inspiration from the legislative branch, the judicial branch, local governments, or outside influencers (i.e lobbies, corporations, donors, propagandists, etc.) as well. Many of us have publicly commented that the reality we\u2019re currently living within is scarier and more surreal than anything any of us have ever dreamt up, so this anthology provided the chance to take that ball and run with it.<\/p>\n

All proceeds from The Dystopian States of America<\/em> will be donated to the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation. The ACLU Foundation is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit corporation, donations to which fund the ACLU\u2019s litigation and public education efforts. As such, all contributing authors donated their work to this anthology without payment. To learn more about the ACLU Foundation and the work they do to protect our civil rights, please CLICK HERE<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

A list of the authors included in this project, featuring links to their personal websites when provided, can be found in the righthand sidebar, and a brief biography of each author can be found HERE<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. We urge you to please take a moment to learn more about the amazing cast of talent who have assembled to make this book a reality.<\/p>\n
