Short Fiction & Futures Anthologies

Speculative stories for possible futures

Dana Klisanin’s short fiction for One Day in 2050 explores ecological imagination, migration, memory, consciousness, and the stories humans tell about the futures they are willing to create.

These pieces sit at the intersection of speculative fiction, futures thinking, psychology, and the more-than-human world.

Fiction as futures inquiry.

Across these stories, Dana uses speculative fiction as a way to ask deeper questions about climate change, ecological belonging, displacement, memory, and moral imagination.

Rather than predicting the future, the stories invite readers to feel into possible worlds — and consider how human choices, myths, and relationships with the living world shape what comes next.

Part of the One Day in 2050 storyworld

The One Day in 2050 projects invite writers, artists, and futurists to imagine worlds shaped by climate change, human migration, ecological transformation, and collective possibility.

Dana’s contributions extend her work in futures thinking, rewilding imagination, and speculative storytelling into short fiction designed to help readers encounter possible futures as felt experience.

Stories for the futures we are willing to imagine.

Dana’s short fiction uses speculative worlds to explore ecological memory, mythic imagination, human choice, and the more-than-human life of the planet.
