Coming October 2025
Think Weirder Book Cover

The major science fiction magazines publish hundreds of science fiction stories every year. For this first volume of Think Weirder, Editor Joe Stech evaluated 391 stories published in 2024 and selected the sixteen best concept-driven, near-future ideas about people interacting with technology. Each story is a new way of seeing the world.

Instead of social media updates that leave you feeling vaguely unfulfilled and anxious, read these stories and walk away with novel ideas to consider instead. Higher quality entertainment has surprising value.

"I'm not saying that reading concept-driven science fiction will revolutionize your career. But when everyone else is pattern-matching from the same handful of business books, thinking 5% weirder is probably worth something."

— Joe Stech, Editor of Think Weirder
