Boosting the signal ... I'll be joining my friend David Colby's panel APPLIED PLOTONIUM at 10am on Sunday at
Clockwork Alchemy:
Applied Plotonium
Monterey - Sunday 10:00 AM
Applied Plotonium is a discussion and series of examples of worlds that are, in general, 100% scientifically accurate save for a SINGLE element of applied plotonium - a single element or feature that is downright fantastical. Eagerly explores extrapolation ending in exposition!
Presenter: David Colby
Moderator: Roger Que
Panelists: Anthony Francis, Michael Tierney
David Colby is the author of
the hard science fiction young adult novel DEBRIS DREAMS (think "
The Hunger Games meets
Gravity") and proposed the panel to explore his love of making the science in science fiction not suck.
In addition to David and me, we've also shanghaied, er, convinced two of our mutual friends to join in: writer and chemist
Michael Tierney from the
Treehouse Writers will join as a panelist, and the writer and computer scientist Roger Que from
Write to the End will serve as our moderator.
Drop in - you'll enjoy yourself!
