Imagine a future you are excited to live in, that you can’t wait to get to. If it’s difficult, you’re not alone. Dystopic visions of the future dominate popular culture, but what if we empower each other with hope by letting ourselves dream? That’s why we’re launching Sci X Sci-Fi, a new conversation between those crafting visions and building worlds with those innovating and inventing.
We’ll kick off the series with a number of events featuring our first creator-in-residence, journalist and science fiction author Annalee Newitz. The opening fireside discussion with Annalee and Carl Zimmer, Yale lecturer and New York Times writer, will center on visions of a future world where societal structures are more equitable, and solutions to environmental problems have been found.
