Echo Fortune

Echo Fortune is a revolutionary socialist, editor, and writer based in London whose work centres on utopian imagination, anti‑capitalist politics, and trans liberation. Their weekly writing examines utopian literature and why contemporary “grimdark” genres function as a kind of dystopian fiction for an age of crisis, alongside reflections on revolutionary theory and climate catastrophe. Echo is active in Marxist and anti‑capitalist organizing, contributing essays and interventions for platforms such as Anti‑Capitalist Resistance and related networks of the radical left.

They are the author of Writing Nowhere: A Beginner’s Guide to Utopia, an introduction to utopian thinking that explores how imagining different worlds can serve practical, revolutionary purposes. Echo edited the anthology of utopian short fiction Citizens of Nowhere, bringing together speculative stories that challenge capitalist realism and experiment with alternative social arrangements. They also co‑authored System Crash: An activist guide to making revolution, a collaborative book that addresses fascism, climate breakdown, and the need for a democratic, socialist transformation of society.
