Wolfe @ WindyCon

James Wynn12 Nov 2009, 14:26

WindyCon starts tomorrow. The following are the panels Gene Wolfe is supposed to participate on. If anyone is going, I'm particularly interested in what is said at the Friday 5pm panel. Friday 5pm Appointment With the End of the World 2012, the end of the world according to the Mayan calendar, is fast approaching. Will it really end this time? What fascinates us with predictions of the end and what do they really mean? Our panelists discuss apocalypses of various types. L. Godfrey, E. Maksym, B. Thomasson, G. Wolfe Saturday 4pm Dystopia Begone Does the future have to be so grim? Is our future really overcrowded, polluted and unequal? What books are interesting, good to read, and have a positive view of the near future? Or is there a positive view? Our panelists discuss the world of the next 100 years. E.E. Knight, J. Plaxco, M.Z. Williamson, G. Wolfe Sunday 11am Court of the Crimson Kings Good old adventure SF. Space opera, exotic alien cultures. What else is out there like this? Was John Carter the last romantic hero? Come and find out. L. Darrow, R. Horton, F. Pohl, P. Sayre McCoy, G. Wolfe
