Today in Washington,D.C. a group of scientists,humanists and science-fiction authors will debate the longevity of civilization,will technology end humanity or save it? The roster includes a NASA senior scientist,the director of the Office of Scholarly Programs at the Library of Congress and sci-fi authors who will explore the future in the literary and scientific imagination. In the afternoon scientists and authors will address how technology could affect climate,evolution or prevent future disasters. The event will be concluded with a discussion between panelists and the audience.
I am not a huge fan of sci-fi but I am impressed that they are being brought into this type of conference,as the usual cast seems to lack the necessary imagination to come up with fresh ideas,and as we all know...the clock is ticking!
