Abstract

The article discusses "Egypt + 100: Stories From a Century After Tahrir," a collection of narratives by twelve Egyptian writers envisioning the state of Egypt in 2111, a century after the 2011 uprising. The stories depict a bleak future characterized by lost hope, environmental degradation due to climate change, and the rise of artificial intelligence that creates alternate realities. The authors explore themes of societal control, urban development, and the stark contrast between the present and a past filled with potential, highlighting a world marked by poverty and oppressive governance. This anthology reflects both local and universal anxieties about the future. [Extracted from the article]
