Usbek & Rica: Groovy Future

A huge thanks to @Almasty for the great assignment! I have been a fan of Almasty since I first saw their work, and it was an honor to get the chance to work on their passion project, Usbek & Rica. Look up the magazine if you haven't seen it! Always beautifully designed and themed around our hopes and fears for the future.

For the story this accompanied, the writer looks at how our science fiction tends to imagine a sterile/monochromatic future and why that might be.
