Miles Past Xanadu

by Matt Stephens

"Miles Past Xanadu" A Solarpunk Short Story Years after Climate Collapse, humanity has survived. Dana has lived her whole life in The City, where the Fringers watch for anything they can charge you for. Clothing, food, water; even colors cost money. With the cost of living driving her from her home, Dana finds sanctuary with her brother; who left the city behind long ago. And to her amazement, he is not alone. At first, Dana is convinced there's no chance of a good life without the city. But the more time she spends out past the Red Line; the more life and beauty she finds, where hope and cooperation can overcome despair and hunger. From the Author of 'The Ark-Hive' and 'Dear Chloe', "Miles Past Xanadu" is a solarpunk story taken from tomorrows headlines, based on technology and innovations already in use.
