John Joseph Adams is looking for advanced readers for his upcoming anthology Seeds of Change. Follow the link for sign-up information. I commented in the blog post that I’d be interested and John shot me over an e-copy within an hour.

The copy reads:

Imagine the moment when the present ends, and the future begins–when the world we knew is no more and a brave new world is thrust upon us. Gathering stories by nine of today’s most incisive minds, Seeds of Change confronts the pivotal issues facing our society today: racism, global warming, peak oil, technological advancement, and political revolution. Many serve as a call to action. How will you change with the future?

It boasts a very nice list of authors:

• N-Words by Ted Kosmatka
• The Future by Degrees by Jay Lake
• Drinking Problem by K. D. Wentworth
• Endosymbiont by Blake Charlton
• A Dance Called Armageddon by Ken MacLeod
• Arties Aren’t Stupid by Jeremiah Tolbert
• Faceless in Gethsemane by Mark Budz
• Spider the Artist by Nnedi Okorafor-Mbachu
• Resistance by Tobias S. Buckell

I’m especially interested in the last story by Tobias Buckell as it’s a Pepper story, a character I just got familiar with through Sly Mongoose.

If you’re interested in getting a free copy for posting a review, check out John’s post and make it so.
