We talked about how I'm sci-fi agnostic at best. I am vowing to keep an open mind, so I'll give the anthology a chance. To me, it's risky to write in that genre. There's nothing worse than schlocky, second rate futuristic stories. Bitcoin is too important.

The book is not directed to bitcoiners alone. In fact, bitcoiners are a secondary market for us. The idea is to create compelling, high-stakes human interest stories that are somewhat related to bitcoin and libertarian ideals. It's an opening narrative for cajoling a wider audience by using great stories instead of bitcoin evangelism.
The stories are great, but as the publisher, I am obviously biased. Best to read them yourselves :)
