Science Fiction: Space Exploration

{ "name":"Science Fiction: Space Exploration", "description":"Get ready to take off for the far reaches of the galaxy via three very different, but equally fascinating, stories of space exploration written by superb storytellers. Festival favorite Annalee Newitz’s The Terraformers, which begins nearly 60,000 years in the future and unfolds over a millennium, is a masterpiece of (literal) world-building, commenting obliquely on colonialism and the ecological future of our own planet. Hugo and Nebula Award winner Mary Robinette Kowal’s scifi mystery The Spare Man is set in the future (on a honeymoon cruise to Mars) but finds inspiration in the past—specifically Nick and Nora Charles in The Thin Man. And Megan E. O’Keefe’s The Blighted Stars launches a thrilling new space opera trilogy featuring spies, organized crime, and planetary resource exploitation—the stakes couldn’t be any higher for humanity. Science fiction and fantasy writer Evette Davis will set our course for this voyage into the depths of space and the heights of imagination.", "startDate":"2023-05-06", "endDate":"2023-05-06", "startTime":"14:00", "endTime":"15:00", "location":"Freight & Salvage", "options":[ "Apple", "Google", "iCal", "Microsoft365", "MicrosoftTeams", "Outlook.com", "Yahoo" ], "timeZone":"America/Los_Angeles", "iCalFileName":"Reminder-Event" }
