It's not just the big events that change the world. Missing that morning cup of coffee might spoil your day, but did you ever think it could alter the course of history? Third Flatiron Anthologies presents "The Time It Happened." Fifteen speculative fiction authors grapple with time, memory, and history in this all-new collection from Third Flatiron Anthologies. Explore the secret history of world-changing events real and imagined, from presidential intrigue and alien invasion to the unpredictable realm of scientific discovery. Remember what you were doing that day the world changed? "The Time It Happened" proudly showcases an international group of new and established speculative fiction authors. Contributors include: Martin Clark, Atar Hadari, Dan Koboldt, Ellen Denton, Jason Lairamore, Larry C. Kay, Richard Mark Ankers, Thomas Canfield, Wendy Nikel, Evan Henry, Elliotte Rusty Harold, Neil James Hudson, Dana Schellings, Mark Hill, and Amanda C. Davis.

This anthology envisions winters of the future, with stories of scientists working together to protect narwhals from an oil spill, to bring snow back to the mountains of Maine, to preserve ecosystems—even if they have to be under glass domes. They're stories of regular people rising to extraordinary circumstances to survive extreme winter weather, to fix a threat to their community's energy source, to save a living city from a deep-rooted sickness. Some take place after an environmental catastrophe, with luxury resorts and military bases and mafia strongholds transformed into sustainable communes; others rethink the way we could organize cities, using skybridges and seascrapers and constructed islands to adapt to the changes of the Anthropocene. Even when the nights are long, the future is bright in these seventeen diverse tales.
