<b>If you want a better future tomorrow, you're going to have to fight for it today. </b> <br><br>Here are four urgent stories from author and activist Cory Doctorow, four social, technological and economic visions of the world today and its near – all too near – future. <br><br>'<b>Unauthorized Bread</b>' is a tale of immigration, toxic economic stratification and a young woman's perilously illegal quest to fix a broken toaster. <br><br>In '<b>Model Minority</b>' a superhero finds himself way out his depth when he confronts the corruption of the police and justice system. <br><br>'<b>Radicalized</b>' is the story of a desperate husband, a darknet forum and the birth of a violent uprising against the US health care system. <br><br>The final story, '<b>The Masque of the Red Death</b>', tracks an uber-wealthy survivalist and his followers as they hole up and attempt to ride out the collapse of society. <br><br><b>'Cory Doctorow is one of our most important science fiction writers' KIM STANLEY ROBINSON. </b>
