Diverse Energies

Diverse Energies is an anthology of eleven dystopian short stories edited by Tobias S. Buckell that present futures where young people confront oppressive governments, corporations, and environmental collapse. The protagonists include students, street kids, and child laborers who navigate settings ranging from climate-ravaged cities to distant colonies, often battling surveillance, poverty, and exploitation. Each story explores themes of resistance, survival, and identity in societies where power is abused and resources are scarce. The collection contains scenes with profanity and violence.
