Our Story
21 Futures was conceived in 2022 by author and editor Philip Charter.
In 2023, our first anthology was published by Konsensus Network and was presented at Bitcoin Atlantis the next year.
In 2025, 21 Futures became an imprint of Konsensus Network, offering a new platform and publishing services to authors in the freedom fiction space.
Our team is made up of a group of dedicated individuals who are all committed to achieving one goal: spreading freedom through stories.
