Dream of Rust and Glass is a speculative fiction and poetry collection featuring original work by Midwest writers. These men and women ask the question, "What if?" Their answers take us to strange, surprising, and surreal new worlds. What would life be like if the working class chose to take drugs to suppress their emotions? What if we went to space and came back to a world similar to our own but empty of everything and everyone we have ever known? What do blue skies look like filled with drones? What does a forest that grants everlasting immortality feel like? This book has the answers to these questions and many, many more.
