How do science fiction writers consider the possibilities of the future? How do they present possible problems -- technologically, ethically, etc. – in ways that are entertaining, plausible, and ripping? How much fiction is meant as a signal or warning, and how much is just fun?
Our guests weigh in on these questions and more. Our guests:
- Wayne Brown, president of the Rochester Fantasy Fans and chairman of Astronomicon
- Allen M. Steele, science fiction writer and genre historian
- Robert J. Sawyer, science fiction writer
- Ted Wenskus, president of the Rochester Speculative Literature Association
