PhilCon 2016, Featuring ME!
This weekend I'll be attending the venerable PhilCon science fiction convention, at the Crowne Plaza hotel in scenic Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Here's my schedule of events:
Friday, November 18, 8:00 p.m., Plaza III: Utopias That Make Us Cringe ��� I'll be moderating a panel on utopian societies in science fiction that don't actually seem very utopian at all.
Saturday, November 19, 10:00 a.m., Executive Suite C: Taking Your Game from Concept to Creation ��� I join a distinguished group of panelists to discuss how to actually design and publish a game.
Saturday, 11:00 a.m., Crystal Ballroom Three: Writing For Aliens: Constructing Languages ��� This time I'll be the most obscure member of a powerhouse panel talking about alien communication.
Saturday, 3:00 p.m., Plaza II: Psionics: Where Did They Go? ��� A group of writers tackle the question of why psychic powers were once ubiquitous in science fiction and why that has changed.
Sunday, November 20, 12:00 noon, Plaza II: The Prehistory of SF ��� I'll be moderating a panel about early works going back to ancient Rome, in which we try to settle whether or not they were science fiction and how they influenced the field.
