THE DYSTOPIA TRIPTYCH is a series of three anthologies of dystopian fiction. IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH—before the dystopia—focuses on society during its descent into absurdity and madness. BURN THE ASHES—during the dystopia—turns its attention to life during the strangest, most dire times. OR ELSE THE LIGHT—after the dystopia—concludes the saga with each author sharing their own vision of how we as a society might crawl back from the precipice of despair.

THE DYSTOPIA TRIPTYCH features all-new, never-before-published works by Hugh Howey, Seanan McGuire, Carrie Vaughn, Scott Sigler, Cadwell Turnbull, Karin Lowachee, Caroline M. Yoachim, Adam-Troy Castro, An Owomoyela, Dominica Phetteplace, Tobias S. Buckell, Tim Pratt, Rich Larson, Alex Irvine, Darcie Little Badger, Violet Allen, and Merc Fenn Wolfmoor.

Provocative, suspenseful, forward-looking fiction

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 3, 2022

Verified Purchase

It’s a safe bet that story collections co-edited by John Joseph Adams and Hugh Howey will be good. They previously hit the mark with their Apocalypse anthology trio, and have done it again with this “Dystopia Triptych.” The stories by Seanan McGuire and Howey himself are truly incredible, and there’s a lot of other strong writing here. A couple of them were misses for me, but overall, I really enjoyed the series.
BTW, the 3-in-1 ebook is the way to go, as it allows continuity in jumping to the linked stories in each volume.

Sci-fi that makes you think AND gives you hope

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 20, 2022

Verified Purchase

A good dystopia shines the light on the problems of the real world, and each of these short-story trilogies definitely does that. We see our world experience--and recover from--a dozen eerie scenarios that are all too real. Best of all, the books are set up so that you can read through them in sequence, or follow one story to its end before picking up the next. If you like sci-fi and you like dystopias, BUYTHIS TRILOGY. You won't regret it.

Strong Anthology

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 2, 2021

Very impressed. No bad stories, all links function as intended. Found several new (to me) authors that I intend to follow. Loved the concept.

take a WILD guess where on the political spectrum this lies

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 6, 2022

love the concept, but about half of these stories could just be "imagine if trump won a second term" - he's basically named dropped in two of the stories already, and im only 1/3 of the way through

i'll gladly return and jam a 5 star review if a SINGLE story is at all in the vein of Harrison Bergeron, a left-wing society run rampant - but judging from the authors introduction, i'm not holding my breath

Great great stories of how the world could go wrong!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 1, 2021

Each book has a continuation of the story from the first book so I’m super happy I read this as combined trilogy so I could read the completed 3 part stories 1 at a time! I loved almost all of them! Carrie Vaughn’s “The Dept of Talent Resources” and Caroline M Yoachim’s “The Shadow Prison Experiment” both had mother daughter themes I enjoyed, along with social media and advertising/ VR gone wrong! Dominica Phettplace’s “One Thousand Beetles in a Jumpsuit” I really want those Beatles and I loved the co-opt of humans and AI, plus the love story! I really don’t have a complaint, loved Seanan McGuire, Tobias Bucknell, Alex Irvine, Tim Pratt, Adam Troy Castro, Karin Lowachee, Hugh Howey, An Owomoyela, & Marc Fenn Wolfmoor!

Understanding Dystopia

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 18, 2020

I have read many stories of Dystopia over the years but this is the first time I have had this many very good stories in one place. The three parts of the Dystopian event in each storyline was great.
