In Cornelia Alexander's novella, The Foreseeable Future: A World Exclusively Female, the world is facing a heretofore unimaginable crisis. When world leaders decide to halt global violence through a secret drug that renders women incapable of producing male offspring, one genetic engineer, Dr. Susan Kindle, takes it upon herself to find a solution. After Kindle's sudden death, her daughter, Jessica, comes into possession of documents in which her mother reveals the evil plan and the scientifically based answer. Will Jessica be able to inform the citizens of the world about their leaders' diabolic intentions? Perhaps even more important, can Jessica sidestep international pressure and get her mother's message out while there is still time? While some might consider this a work of futuristic fiction, the result is a chilling account of a scientific conspiracy that, in the near future, could be grounded in reality. Rather than create characters locked in dialogue, the entire story is narrated by one character, Jessica Kindle. Logically and meticulously, the story unfolds in a most chilling and logical manner. The Foreseeable Future: A World Exclusively Female is science fiction based on scientific possibility, which makes this story all the more compelling.
