Palestine + 100 poses a question to twelve Palestinian writers: what might your country look like in the year 2048 - a century after the tragedies and trauma of what has come to be called the Nakba How might this event - which,in 1948,saw the expulsion of over 700,000 Palestinian Arabs from their homes - reach across a century of occupation,oppression,and political isolation,to shape the country and its people Will a lasting peace finally have been reached,or will future technology only amplify the suffering and mistreatment of Palestinians Covering a range of approaches - from SF noir,to nightmarish dystopia,to high-tech farce - these stories use the blank canvas of the future to reimagine the Palestinian experience today. Along the way,we encounter drone swarms,digital uprisings,time-bending VR,peace treaties that span parallel universes,and even a Palestinian superhero,in probably the first anthology of science fiction from Palestine ever.
