Synopsis

Brutal. Devastating. Dangerous.

Join an investigation into a cruel and heartless leader … crawl through filth and mud to escape biological warfare … team up with time-traveling soldiers faced with potentially life-altering instructions.

Kameron Hurley, an award-winning author and expert in the future of war and resistance movements, has created eighteen exhilarating tales giving glimpses into the warfare of tomorrow.

A bleak future, yet there is hope for us. With Hurley’s characteristic grim optimism, her characters fight for what they believe is right. They exhibit degrees of humanity only possible in the worst of circumstances. These characters, driven
by a murky sense of honor and written with sincere, deep empathy, make Future Artifacts: Stories a powerful collection you won’t soon forget.

Kameron Hurley will forever be a fave of mine 🥰🥰. Her ability to fully build a world so succinctly is fucking amazing. I am in love with the worlds she creates.

Goodreads review by Ayre on June 23, 2022

This is a short story collection of dystopian like sci fi stories. Most of them involve war in some way. I picked up an ARC of Future Artifacts because I loved the Light Brigade back in 2020 and I was excited to pick up something else by Kameron Hurley. I really enjoy how Kameron approaches gender in......more

Goodreads review by Ted on January 31, 2025

Hurley drops you into stories and doesn't over explain things, just like the best works out there. Completely brutal, grim and gruesome scenarios. Reminiscent of a favorite work, Paolo Bacigalupi's short story collection Pump Six, but not quite as good. Some biopunk worldbuilding, some plain scifi a......more
