Summary:
"
Iraq
+
100
poses a question to contemporary Iraqi writers: what might your home city look like in the year 2103 exactly
100
years after the disastrous American and British-led invasion of
Iraq
? How might that war reach across a century of repair and rebirth, and affect the state of the country its politics, its religion, its language, its culture and how might
Iraq
have finally escaped its chaos, and found its own peace, a hundred years down the line? As well as being an exercise in escaping the politics of the present, this
anthology
is also an opportunity for a hotbed of contemporary Arabic writers to offer its own spin on
science
fiction
and fantasy."--From publisher.
