Annalee Newitz, Becky Chambers

Calendar icon

Tuesday April 18, 7pm
Check-in starts at 6pm

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation between two Hugo award-winning science fiction authors, Becky Chambers and Annalee Newitz. Known for challenging classic science fiction tropes such as war, violence, and colonialism, both authors create vivid and immersive worlds that are filled with non-human persons, peace, and a subtle sense of hope. The authors will discuss what it means to take these alternative themes seriously, delve into their writing & world building process, and explore how science fiction can help us imagine new futures that can make sense of our current civilizational struggles.

Tickets typically go on sale to Long Now members two weeks in advance and then to the public. Most talks sell out quickly due to our small capacity. "Patron tickets" are usually available after other tickets sell out. They include a reserved seat and are partially tax deductible.

Talk begins at 7pm; we recommend arriving earlier for more seating options. The Interval reopens to the public by 8:30pm. (All times are in Pacific Time)

A live videostream of most talks is available. Each talk is free for Long Now members at http://longnow.org/live
