At 21 Futures, we publish original fiction in the cypherpunk, libertarian, sci-finance and bitcoin genre.
Our mission is to give power to world-changing ideas through story.
We publish several original titles each year, including our short-fiction anthologies.
[**21 Futures**](21futures.com) is currently open to submissions.
As an imprint of Konsensus Network, we also help fiction authors through our hybrid publishing services. Authors select the right services to help them shape and produce their masterpiece. Together, we send it out into the world.
Hybrid publishers outside the freedom space will take your money, but they will lack the niche expertise and desire to make your book succeed.
21 Futures is run by a passionate team of freedom-loving editors and professionals. We only accept the highest quality manuscripts because we want to champion work that we believe in too.
