A scintillating futurist sprawl through and within the Southeast Asian ecological apocalypse of the year 2050
Destination: SEA 2050 A.D. is the first Southeast Asian fiction anthology that imagines—based on scientific projections—the world of the year 2050, the same year when ninety per cent of the planet’s coral reefs are expected to decline, when plastic is found inside ninety-nine per cent of all the world’s seabirds, when there is severe water shortage in Asia, when growth in the world’s populations stops, and when the elderly outnumber children in most places on Earth.
Short stories and graphic narratives from Duanwad Pimwana, Vincent Lapuz, Sokunthary Svay, Mui Poopoksakul, Kathrina Mohd Daud, Tunku Halim, Rio Johan, Tr?n Th? NgH, Paul Christiansen, Nguy?n Lâm Th?o Thi, Julius Villanueva, Edgar Calabia Samar, Francezca Kwe, Bryan Thao Worra—a veritable literary supergroup from all over Southeast Asia and with each story painstakingly annotated—will paint a vivid, often disquieting but at times hopeful, vision of an environmental futurist spread. Destination: SEA 2050 A.D. is a travel through time and into the heartland of the global conversation on the final stages of the sixth extinction.
