Space voyeurs, interstellar empire shenanigans, and tea, oh my! The always incredible Ann Leckie takes over the show once more to discuss Ancillary Sword, the much anticipated sequel to the multi-award winning Ancillary Justice. We discuss writing sequels and handling audience expectations, the changes in the Ancillary “universe,” gender and sexuality, empire (duh), and, well, a little bit of cannibalism. What more could you ask for during Thanksgiving?

The High Bar w/ Warren & William Gibson
William Gibson’s writing is timeless. For mortals, conquering time is a Quixotic endeavor, only imaginable with the aid of hallucinogens, religion or science fiction. Today(?), Mr. Gibson walks into The High Bar and joins Warren Etheredge to raise a toast to and raise the bar for… atemporality. Will time stand still and if so, what impact will it have on memories, personal or shared? The legendary author (Neuromancer; Pattern Recognition) discusses his childhood, his craft and his hope for a future he has never truly predicted, even within the pages of his recent collection of articles and essays, Distrust That Particular Flavor.

Dude, you broke the Future!
From https://media.ccc.de/v/34c3-9270-dude_you_broke_the_future
We’re living in yesterday’s future, and it’s nothing like the speculations of our authors and film/TV producers. As a working science fiction novelist, I take a professional interest in how we get predictions about the future wrong, and why, so that I can avoid repeating the same mistakes. Science fiction is written by people embedded within a society with expectations and political assumptions that bias us towards looking at the shiny surface of new technologies rather than asking how human beings will use them, and to taking narratives of progress at face value rather than asking what hidden agenda they serve.
In this talk, author Charles Stross will give a rambling, discursive, and angry tour of what went wrong with the 21st century, why we didn’t see it coming, where we can expect it to go next, and a few suggestions for what to do about it if we don’t like it.
