The short story collection, « ECHOES OF TOMORROW,» is a unique blend of science fiction and mysticism, history and myth, truth and fantasy, philosophy, and literature. This book brings together amazing short stories, including « The Author and His Characters,» which tells the story of Arab aliens whose ancestors emigrated from planet Earth when their language became threatened after writers abandoned it. Their planet’s leadership council created the «Avatar» project to save the Arabic language on Earth. «Avatar» transforms characters from novels written by Arab writers in foreign languages into computer programs, transformed into avatars that can communicate with their writers and seek to return them to writing in their native language. It loads the «Arabic» file into the writers’ brains, containing the most important books and dictionaries of the Arabic language, enabling them to write in Arabic. The collection also includes other stories, as «ʿUkaẓ,» which takes place during the late pre-Islamic era, in the fifty-third year following the Year of the Elephant. The story « Elephant Park,» tells how American Republicans adopted Abraha’s elephant and made it their party’s symbol. They discovered its skeleton, cloned it, and worshipped it in Arabistan. The collection includes other fascinating stories, such as «The Salt Caravan,» « Ghostbuster,» « Hajj in memory,» and « Malik’s intersex child.»
