The first issue of Into the Ruins is now available for purchase! This Spring 2016 issue currently comes in both print and digital editions. The print edition comes as a 7″ x 10″ book packed with 110 pages of stories of our deindustrial future, editorials, letters to the editor, book reviews, and a few miscellaneous ramblings and surprises. The digital edition comes almost exactly the same, except as a high quality, downloadable PDF with roughly three very minor alterations (see if you can spot them!).
From a civilization 1,500 years from now whose religions stem from the Principia Discordia and a worship of commerce, to agricultural societies dealing with climate change and chaos, to ritualistic death by rising sea and the struggles of a small town doctor, the stories in this take a hard look at the destructive ways in which we are currently treating our ecosystems, consider the inevitable consequences, and map out the likely futures we are making for ourselves. The results, rooted firm right here on Earth, are fascinating and compelling.
On an editorial note, I will say that I approached this project unsure of what kind of writing I would be able to publish. Now that the first issue is ready to go, I have to say that I am amazed at how good these stories are and incredibly proud of this issue. I don’t think readers will be disappointed.
A digital version of the first issue is not currently available. A PDF may come available for purchase in the not-too-distant future. An e-book version may yet be a fair amount farther off, due to the complexity of conversion. We will do our best. Any updates will be announced, and this page will be updated accordingly. Update: A digital version is now available through Payhip!
