Spring into SciFi returns with more tales from authors around the world. Meet aliens in search of emotional research and artificial intelligences capable of love, or malice. Seek out hidden knowledge in the depths of the old web or treasures in ancient alien vaults. Clones created to be spare parts rebel against their purpose and a world enslaved to technology simply stops participating in the algorithm. Find a purpose beyond your small town or join a movement to restore the planet from ecological collapse. You’ll find it all within the pages of Spring Into SciFi 2026 Volume 1.

Spring into SciFi returns with more tales from authors around the world. Find out what happens when the fall guy takes a fatal plunge, or a war obsessed Queen pushes too far in her pride. Magic and advanced tech don’t mix. A rare plant can reveal secrets and save you from space pirates. Sometimes the cards don’t lie, and neither does a visit from the future. Save planets from corporate greed, while negotiating intergalactic peace and still be home for dinner. These short stories will make you laugh, cry, and think about what the future could hold, or what secrets are hidden from our sight.
