Did anyone else see the Scifi exibition at the British Library?

[Lucy]

So I know it was last year but it was an amazing exhibition with some amazing first editions and interactive tech stuff, was I the only one who saw this and is it touring?

I didn't know it was on. I don't often go into London, but I'd have made the effort if I'd known about it (the last two things I went up to the Smoke for were the touring Star Wars and LOTR movie exhibits)

[Lucy]

It was amazing it had first editions from Arther C Clarke and H.G Wells and all sorts of cool interactive stuff.
One of the sections had Patrick Stewart reading the audio vintage books!

Fascinating exhibit, very thoughtful curation. Was really happy to be able to visit. I don't think it's touring but they did publish a Companion volume:
Out of This World: Science Fiction but not as you know it

I wished I'd known about it last year when I was there! I go to London every other month or so for work (well, that will end soonish, we're almost done this job)...bummer. :(

I found an overview - http://goo.gl/ZZKra
I didn't know that Kipling wrote scifi.
(With the night mail) That one's going to the top of my list.
I'd like to hear more about the exhibit.

[Lucy]

I was just suprised by how amazing it truly was, and how I hadn't heard about it until I got there!
Along with all the first editions and writers manuscripts were lots of interactive stuff that were hinted at but not shown in the bbc clip, there was even a life sized tardis.
Are they planning more like this?
