When Truth Becomes Stranger Than Fiction: What it Means When Reality Imitates Science Fiction and Fantasy
From 1984 to The Handmaid's Tale, science fiction and fantasy novels have imagined humanity's future “ and it's not always efficient hyper drives and intergalactic peace treaties. Led by senior editor Jason Kirk, bestselling authors Rysa Walker (The Delphi trilogy), Meg Elison (THE BOOK OF THE UNNAMED MIDWIFE), Sean Gandert (LOST IN ARCADIA), Hugh Howey (MACHINE LEARNING), and PJ Manney ((ID)ENTITY) will debate science fiction and fantasy's role in predicting and imagining the near future.
When Truth Becomes Stranger Than Fiction: Autographing
Come meet Rysa Walker, Hugh Howey, Meg Elison, Sean Gandert and PJ Manney! Books will be available for purchase at the signing, and there will be a limited number of free advanced copies of The Delphi Resistance. The Strand is the official bookseller of NYCC!

Expanding Worlds: How Science Fiction & Fantasy Novels Imagine the World – For Better or for Worse
From hyper-drive star ships to swords and sorcery to lustful vampires, science fiction and fantasy novels imagine worlds with infinite possibilities. But frequently, these worlds are remarkably similar to our own. Come hear bestselling science-fiction and fantasy authors discuss their imagined worlds and the impact of the collective SFF brain on the “real” world. Authors Rysa Walker (The Delphi Effect, Timebound), Gwenda Bond (Girl In the Shadows), Amy A. Bartol (Kricket series, Secondborn series), J.D. Horn (Witching Savannah series), and Alys Arden (The Casquette Girls) will debate and discuss, led by Senior Editor Jason Kirk of 47North and Skyscape.
