Can truth be stranger than fiction? Perhaps in a world gone mad, the lines between truth and fiction are sometimes blurred.
Certainly, with the stories in the
Kisah Futures Anthology, anything is possible.
Utopian and dystopian stories both make an appearance in this compilation of stories.
There is time travel, robots and holographic transmissions, but also tales of delivery people, frontliners and vaccines. A fan of science fiction, romance or adventure? You will find something here.
“Most anthologies are carefully curated, sitting within specific bookseller genres, whereas this one is as ‘majmuk’ and multifarious as our population. What also makes this anthology special is that the stories are written by our people - Malaysians and Malaysian residents - from all walks of life, says Maya Tan, Think City brand and communications lead.

LUMPUR: With themes relevant to the future and post-Covid-19 scenarios, KISAH Futures Competition compiles short stories that can potentially catalyse change for resilience and sustainable social, economic and ecological futures in cities and beyond.
Organised by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in partnership with Think City, Universiti Malaya and Malaysian Industry-Government Group for High Technology, the competition received 700 submissions of short stories in two language categories, English and Bahasa Melayu.
The list of winners was announced in December 2020.
UNDP resident representative for Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei Niloy Banerjee said it was really touching and uplifting to read some of the stories.
