A collection of science fiction stories, edited by Fabio Calabrese and exploring the challenges and fears that humanity may face in the future. The stories range from space exploration to the collapse of civilisation, touching on themes such as genetics, cloning, time travel and ecology. The authors offer a variety of perspectives, including space travel, contact with aliens, the use of futuristic technologies, and the struggle for survival in dystopian worlds. The following stories focus on environmental themes: La brutta stagione (The Bad Season) by Carlo Menzinger di Preussenthal, which tells the story of a post-apocalyptic Versilia, devastated by rising sea levels and radiation. In this desolate world, a few mutants struggle for survival in a cruel and hopeless environment; and Ologramma by Fabiana Redivo, which tells the story of an experimental space journey undertaken to escape an inhospitable Earth.
