Ranked Top 10 "Best Lit Mags of 2023" by Chill SubsSynopsis: Carefully curated stories from our monthly magazine to create a themed short story book about the philosophy and ethics of government law and regulation. Perfect for classrooms and book clubs, each story is 1,500-7,000 words and comes with five suggested discussion questions.

The Book Of Approved Words: A government approved "author" is tempted to show the world the words they are missing.The Draft: Society forces all babies to born, but creates a lottery system requiring all men to care for the offspring.For Your Safety: Zoe is visited by the government for having sexual relations without first filing an "Intimate Partnership Agreement."Understanding Ice Cream: Professor Gault meets a mysterious stranger that causes him to question the underlying causes of political polarization.Prohibition: A wealthy addict heads to a seedy part of town for his fix and gets more than he bargained for.The Decay: Benjamin's pharmacy suggests he consider enrolling in a government program to end his life.The Kill Registry: In a world where everyone in society gets "one free kill," the narrator finds out his attractive coworker got a promotion.The Crate: Two women escape from a country that forces equal treatment to one that encourages differences, and find both have their issues.Form Seven Alpha: A city resident is caught breaking the law and is given the choice between one of five punishment options.Euthanasia: In a dystopian future, Hank works on a farm for the euthanizing of sick, unwanted, or abandoned animals.Reviews ★★★★★“With Science fiction we can explore other galaxies and alien conflicts, but with philosophical fiction we can explore other minds and ethical conflicts. Let this book take you on a Phi-Fi adventure.”— William Irwin, Ph.D. - Philosophy Professor, King's College“After Dinner Conversation has taken up the initiative to write themed collections of short stories that fit focused ethics courses – say, a course on bioethics, AI ethics, Tech ethics etc. These collections can offer a spine for such courses or individual stories could be added to a course as illustrative material to stimulate discussion. The stories are lively and engaging and followed by a set of questions to start classroom discussion. Also, outside of educational contexts, the stories will work nicely to stimulate conversation in families, elder hostels, youth clubs, or book groups.”— Luc Bovens, Ph.D. - Philosophy Professor, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
