About the Book

Thirty futures. One thousand words each. Zero safety protocols. The Sky Didn't Load Today and Other Glitches is Rich Larson's lightning strike collection of flash fiction. From the depths of biolab bunkers to alien fungi forests, each story is a precision-crafted portal to tomorrow. Here, minds are downloadable, bodies are rentable, and reality itself comes with a glitch warning. Brace yourself for thirty razor-sharp glimpses into futures where deep space comedy collides with seaside horror, and nothing is quite what your neural implants tell you it should be. Rich Larson: Global storyteller. Genre-bending visionary. Master of the short-form punch.

Review :
"Larson demonstrates his superhuman ability to weld wild future-world concepts with immediately relatable characters. Upload this book into your mind at the fastest possible Mbps." Mike Allen, World Fantasy Award-nominated author of Unseaming and Slow Burn "Startling and seductive...These stories are a virtuosic exploration of human striving in the face of existential collapse." Ian Muneshwar, Nebula, Locus, and Shirley Jackson Award finalist "Rich Larson is one of my very favorite short story writers, and his powers are undiminished in these haunting brilliant short-shorts, each one a deeply-felt world in miniature." Sam J Miller, Nebula-award-winning author of Blackfish City "Effective flash fiction that leaves an impression... Rich Larson writes brilliantly at every length." Ellen Datlow, multi-award winning editor of short fiction "Larson has a knack for fitting mind-bending ideas, interesting characters, and dark and compelling twists into each and every story. Science fiction with depth, heart, and swagger." Maria Haskins, author of Six Dreams About The Train "The Sky Didn't Load Today is a multiverse of stories...Blends quirky and absurd humour with melancholy, exploring love, fear, survival, loneliness." Ai Jiang, Nebula and Bram Stoker award-winning and Hugo award-nominated author "A fantastic collection of dark sci-fi... Even when you think you know where a story is headed, Larson surprises." Dawn Vogel, author of Dead-Starred Futures "Nobody does short fiction like Rich Larson - each of these tiny tales is a barbed-wire curio that sparkles in an alien light." Charlie Jane Anders, author of Lessons in Magic and Disaster "Fiction caviar...ultra-short but hyper-imaginative; you can't read just one." Hugo finalist Alvaro Zinos-Amaro, author of Equimedian "Pocketful of shocks Mind when you reach a hand in A slip might draw blood" James Patrick Kelly, winner of the Hugo, Nebula and Locus awards. "A shrewdly observed collection of razor-wire anxieties and depravities...The Sky Didn't Load Today is dark SF at its best." Michael Kelly, World Fantasy Award winner "A 30-course meal-sweet, salty, sour, bitter, umami...filled with wonder as much as dread." Richard Thomas, Bram Stoker, Shirley Jackson, and Thriller Award finalist "Short, savage strokes, bristling with energy...Rich Larson is one of the most original and imaginative science fiction talents of our time." Nicholas A. DiChario, Hugo, World Fantasy, and Calvino Prize nominated author of Giovanni's Tree: New Italian Folktale
