Beacon College Salon Speaker Series presentsThe Future Happened Yesterday with Chris Irving
Advancements in astronomy (such as the James Webb telescope), technological innovations (such as the SpaceX program), robotic advancements (like those happening at Boston Dynamics), and controversial tech products (like Elon Musk’s Neuralink) create a potentially growing dilemma for sci-fi literature and cinema. Maybe. How can we keep the fiction in science-fiction as our ability to understand the universe is growing exponentially? Christopher Irving will examine how sci-fi literature and its cinematic representations are both expanding and retreating due to our continued demystification of the universe. Where, if anywhere, does progress direct (or maroon) both literature and cinema of this genre?
