UNCANNY VALLEY: PIP ADAM, TERRI TE TAU, AND TIM CORBALLIS
Advertisement
Three novelists working in the realm of speculative fiction come together to discuss their new works.
Terri Te Tau’s The Valley of Unlikely Acquaintances brings alive the ngāhere of Wairarapa in a future time.
Tim Corballis’s Nova invites readers into a strange and prescient dialogue between humanity and its systems.
pip adam’s kluge is a workplace satire about artificial intelligence and the value of a body.
These writers will be in conversation with Dougal McNeill on contending with both re-envisioned pasts and our increasingly strange present.
Writers on Mondays is presented by the International Institute of Modern Letters and The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. The 2026 series will run from 12.15—1.15 pm each Monday from 6 July to 28 September at Te Papa and Circa Theatre, with two special evening sessions at Meow. Admission is free and all are welcome. The series is supported by the Letteri family.
