For five years now, GORP has been helping people find adventure. So far we've kept it terrestrial and in the here and now.
To celebrate our fifth anniversary, we decided to take a bolder look into the future. GORP editor and science fiction writer Eileen Gunn persuaded three of today's top science fiction minds to take a look at the outlandish adventure our new millennium promises. Terry Bisson, Lucius Shepard, and Kim Stanley Robinson open our minds to the possibilities from the truly extreme to the future of family fun.
We are also fortunate that Paul Theroux has allowed us to share his musings. Who better than a writer who has exemplified adventure travel for the past decades to comment on what's in store in the coming years?
Illustrators Jay Kinney and Paul Mavrides collaborated on futuristic visualizations that jar the imagination.
