Save the World: Twenty Sci-Fi Writers Save the Planet by J. Scott Coatsworth

Having previously enjoyed Fix the World, I picked up its sister-book. The stories are very diverse, with some ideas I'd never entertained before. I found it a slightly less engaging book than Fix the World but still a worthy read.

The concept of writers saving the planet may seem at first like a simple "what if" mental diversion, but I'm betting a lot of progress has been made throughout the history of humanity by starting from these sort of wonderings. We need beginnings, new concepts to hang our questions and suggestions on. Why not listen to what writers are pondering? They are as human as any of us!

I really enjoy anthologies because it let me sample the work of many different authors, but some anthologies are bit hit and miss, I ended up not fully enjoying this one, because I was missing a bit of sci-fi in most of them, I guess I was expecting more of a future kind of stories, but I fully understand that it was my expectatives versus the book not really a problem of the book, maybe how high we go into the dark spoiled global warming for me, its not bad, several different stories and you do feel the difference between them, but I will be honest, I skipped some… but try it out, maybe you’ll like it

Thank you NetGalley for the free ARC and this is my honest opinion.
