Science Fiction Gone Wrong

Saturday 13:00 - 14:00, 101a&b (Messukeskus)

Sometimes, science fiction is a prophetic vision of the future. However often times, science fiction turns out to be wrong. This can happen either through the actual dates of science fiction arriving on the calendar or scientific discoveries. Ridley Scott has celebrated science fiction's triumphs. But what about its failures? What can we learn from science fiction gone wrong? What does science fiction gone wrong show us about the state of collective consciousness, at the time it was written? Panelists: Anne Charnock, Robert Silverberg, Alex Weinle, Annalee Newitz, Ian Stewart
