DAILY SCI-FI

Not just rockets & robots...

"Science Fiction" means—to us—everything found in the science fiction section of a bookstore, or at a science fiction convention, or amongst the winners of the Hugo awards given by the World Science Fiction Society. This includes the genres of science fiction (or sci-fi), fantasy, slipstream, alternative history, and even stories with lighter speculative elements. We hope you enjoy the broad range that SF has to offer.

The No-Nonsense, Bare-Necessities Guide to the Upcoming Apocalypse

by Filip Wiltgren

By day, Filip Wiltgren is a mild-mannered communication officer at Linkoping University, where he also teaches communication and presentation skills at a post-graduate level. But by night, he turns into a frenzied ten-fingered typist, clawing out jagged stories of fantasy and science fiction, which have found lairs in places such as Analog, IGMS, Grimdark, and Nature Futures. This is his sixth appearance in Daily Science Fiction.

Filip roams the Swedish highlands, kept in check by his wife and kids. He can be found at wiltgren.com.
