People like to dream! Who can blame them for imagining a better world or aiming for a higher standard of life? Yes, we’re another one of those sci-fi publications, that’s right. A community of people, who draw ideas from the stars above their heads: novels, paintings, radio dramas, animation, games…—a glimpse into the unknown.

Our vision is simple. We believe the world had enough “Berlin walls” of separation between ideas and nations who share the same planet. We see that the recent climatic shift is forcing us to move into space sooner rather than later as “one people under the stars.” We know this has been a dream of all visionaries from before the two world wars of humanity, fought for food and territory—not just gold and glory … or ideology. Starting with Jules Verne and ending (or rather continuing) with all of us, with words and colors we have painted this human dream of shifting from planetary to cosmic society. This isn’t just sci-fi or just space art! Humanity is destined for the stars, not the dust. And certainly not for oblivion and self-obliteration! Whether you accept the ongoing paradigm shift or not, time isn’t going to wait for us to first comprehend it. The changes are already taking place!

Can people live and work in space-station cities? Can we terraform our moon and Mars or at least prepare there shelters in cases of global emergency? Can we move our factories into orbit, which at present are killing our environment? Can we build artificial planetoids around our sun, instead of just overpopulating and overusing our planet? Can we mine our asteroid belt? These are but a few of a million questions, which we want to discuss and portray in our anthology from a scientific, artistic, and fictional perspective. That’s what might help get us up there … before it’s too late.

PS To take our vision beyond dreaming and fantasizing, we have created this publication, putting writers and artists together in order to co-publish and share their views with the world. To find out more, read our Call for Writers and Artists, as well as Terms & Conditions, Guidelines, Copyright, and Q&A. To learn more about our Audiobooks and Video projects, go to Byproducts. If you aren't sure whether you're sci-fi, speculative fiction, or just a futurist, take our quiz at Sci-Fi Sub-Genres and fine-tune your style's category. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me, or our Senior Editor Rob Preston and our Submissions Manager Tim Longwell. If you would like to volunteer for something, apply at Editorial Officers. If you have no money for art supplies and no Photoshop to start painting or illustrating digitally, take a look at Freeware & Shareware.

Thank you all and let's do it!
