18 EXHILARATING JOURNEYS INTO RUSH-INSPIRED WORLDS

The music of Rush, one of the most successful bands in history, is filled with fantastic stories, evocative images, and thought-provoking futures and pasts. In this anthology, notable, bestselling, and award-winning writers each chose a Rush song as a spark for a new story, drawing inspiration from the visionary trio that is Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart.

Enduring stark dystopian struggles or testing the limits of the human spirit, the characters populating 2113 find strength while searching for hope in a world that is repressive, dangerous, or just debilitatingly bland. Most of these tales are science fiction but some are fantasies, thrillers, even edgy mainstream.
