What is The Next Horizon?

The Next Horizon is a short sci-fi story newsletter that explores the potential for a brighter future. Our stories are set in worlds where humanity has learned to live in harmony with nature, using technology to solve our problems and create a more sustainable world.

A better future is a policy choice. Or alternatively a worse future may also be a result of the choices we make. We have agency in our lives, and we should work towards better worlds.

Science-fiction is a way to explore possible futures. Not all of them are going to be naively optimistic, but neither should they be naively pessimistic. Technology and progress can enhance our lives in we choose.
