What does the future hold? Ten speculative short stories by leading young-adult authors imagine what the world could be through the lens of technologies emerging today. When the modification industry transforms how humans look, sound, and interact, a nonbinary teen braves the ""reinvention room"" to accept a gift from the dead. In an accidental city in space, a young apprentice holds neighborhoods together with braided carbon filaments until distraction and inspiration arrive in the wake of a visitor. Entitlement-fueled drug use alters the landscape of white privilege, robots remember the Earth, and corporate ""walkers"" stroll for unknown subscribers-until one hacks the system. In tales buzzing with possibility, hope, innovation, anger, and tenderness, Tasting Light offers a dazzling challenge to connect with open minds, hearts, and senses in a fast-changing world. With stories by: William Alexander, K. Ancrum, Elizabeth Bear, A. R. Capetta, Charlotte Nicole Davis, Nasugraq Rainey Hopson, A. S. King, E. C. Myers, Junauda Petrus-NASAh, and Wendy Xu
