When Did Reality Become Stranger Than Fiction?

Co-presented with The Box Sessions and San Francisco Public Library

What happens when today's headlines read like yesterday’s dystopian thrillers? We've entered an era where the improbable is commonplace, and the line between science fiction and reality is blurred. Whether it's the widespread impact of climate change, the surge in vaccine skepticism, or the unsettling erosion of fundamental rights for women and minorities, the world around us is presenting challenges once confined to sci-fi novels. Join award-winning former New York Times journalist and founder of the Box Sessions, Laura M. Holson, for a dynamic conversation with authors Evette Davis, Sheri T. Joseph, and Julia Vee, as they examine the astonishing ways our current world not only mirrors but frequently surpasses the wildest imaginings of fiction. Prepare for a lively discussion that will leave you asking if reality has become stranger than fiction. FREE, $10-15 suggested donation
