New Maps: Vol. 5, No. 2 (Spring 2025) - PDF

A global diet of less resources doesn’t mean everyone will live with less: as long as there’s been money, there have been those with lots of it and those without. In this issue we meet some of those at the extremes. A nervous new executive attempting to impress his new colleagues, and a brother and sister whose last modest wealth has just been shredded by a tornado. Two children trying to get their mother to a hospital although cars are the preserve of a wealthy few, and an oilman who jumps on the latest technological attempt at making the rich immortal. And the opening of a novella that follows a clan of poor marsh farmers in the shadow of high-life condo perches. Find as well the story of a husband’s promise with unforeseeable ramifications, and poetry, letters, and two new columns, here in the latest New Maps.
