What kind of jobs will artificial intelligence create, and how will new technologies affect our lives — for better or for worse — going forward? Even many techno-optimists have difficulty answering questions like this with any specificity, because the future is hard to predict.

This collection of stories portrays a wide variety of possible worlds that technological progress could create, with both optimistic and pessimistic predictions.
