Internationally acclaimed science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson will visit us here at Georgia Tech next week. Robinson is generally considered to be one of the most important science fiction authors of our time, and has worked closely with a variety of scientists and scientific institutions (including the NSF) to create gripping, carefully detailed, and sometimes alarmingly realistic depictions of terraforming, climate change, and the scientific and social practices associated with these things.
Several events are planned for Robinson’s visit, included an interview and open Q&A at the Library.
