This collection masterfully traverses the spectrum from the intimately personal to the expansively cosmic, exploring the myriad ways in which Bitcoin could shape our lives, societies, and humanity’s place in the universe.
Each story is a universe unto itself, from the intriguing tale of siblings unraveling a 12-word seed puzzle left by their wealthy father, to the vast and visionary worlds of deep space mining, settlements on Mars, and even a tale of children who live on a refueling hub 1.5 million kms from Earth—all facilitated by Bitcoin. It ventures into the realms of Bitcoin singularity, where the timechain blurs with human existence, and proposes the idea that the discovery of sound money might be Earth’s ticket to one day joining a federation of planets.
There are plenty of twists and turns, with Bitcoin acting as the thread that weaves these diverse narratives into a cohesive exploration of future possibilities. For sci-fi fans, there's an abundance of innovative ideas that stretch the imagination, as Bitcoin makes things once only imaginable now seem tangibly within reach. And for Bitcoin enthusiasts, the exploration of potential impacts and use cases, both positive and negative, provides a rich ground for speculation and debate.

From the tension of murder mysteries to the expanse of intergalactic dystopias, the anthology is a tapestry of transformation.The anthology incorporates bitcoin into its narratives, but it does so through the lens of fiction and storytelling without annoying "evangelism" or narrative pushing. It respects the reader's choice to interpret these universes as they will.This anthology claims to be the first of its kind and promises that the journey has just begun. I am eager to see where Konsensus takes us with the inevitable Volume 2."21 Futures" is a must-read for anyone interested in fiction, specifically Sci-fi, and most of all to those who are curious about the possible implications of bitcoin adoption and are not averse to controversial and even negative takes on bitcoin.

21 Futures is epic!
Love the ingenuity of the authors. Had me begging to read more! Some favorites in no particular order:
15 “Who Let the Bitcoin Dogs Out?” Will Schoellkopf has over 100 dogs lives at risk as an international spy mystery plays out over national hash forces.
14 “Eye in the Sky” Eduardo Prospero imagines a family drama over a lucrative off grid Bitcoin mining citadel
00 “The Last Mugging” John Champaign newspaper article from a physical mugging of a digital asset
06 “Bitter Fly” Fanis Michalakis over the discovery of something deep in the genesis of the Bitcoin timechain
09 “The Baked Goods and Bitcoin of Skirophoria” Angelique Fawns waking up after being cryogenically frozen to a nightmare
Every story really had me wanting to read more. Haven’t had this much fun playing with ideas in a long time! Grateful to be included in this project :)

The stories in this anthology are so diverse in perspective it's like having 22 books on your shelf (they snuck in a bonus story). It's almost impossible to imagine that this could be done around one simple subject: Bitcoin. If you are a HODLer (a bitcoin veteran) you'll find yourself laughing, cheering, or shaking your head in disagreement about what the future my hold for you, but you'll always be entertained. If you have only, kinda, heard about Bitcoin I would imagine this would be quite the introduction. It was a wild ride through these stories but, like a rollercoaster, I'm going to jump back in line again and again.
