Spring Into SciFi: 2026 Edition: Volume 1

by Grigory Lukin, Mike Murphy, Bettina V. Bosch

Spring into SciFi returns with more tales from authors around the world. Meet aliens in search of emotional research and artificial intelligences capable of love, or malice. Seek out hidden knowledge in the depths of the old web or treasures in ancient alien vaults. Clones created to be spare parts rebel against their purpose and a world enslaved to technology simply stops participating in the algorithm. Find a purpose beyond your small town or join a movement to restore the planet from ecological collapse. You’ll find it all within the pages of Spring Into SciFi 2026 Volume 1.

About the author

I'm a chronic misadventurer with a malfunctioning improbability field. (How else would a Siberian end up living in Quebec City?)

I enjoy devouring hard science fiction, digging up obscure platypus trivia, overdosing on C8H10N4O2 and breaking laws of physics. (I try to put them back together when I'm done with them. Most of the time. (Sorry about Tunguska.))
