We live in a science fictional world. Every day another futuristic projection made in the past turns into the reality of the present. Science fiction and science fact have become all but indistinguishable. "Special effects" are no longer particularly special, and fictional worlds, hoaxes and alternate histories are sometimes more real than reality itself. Science fiction turns its readers into early adopters; it helps prepare us for the future however it unfolds. Science uses this imaginative resource to think beyond its paradigm boundaries.
TransFormations 3: Fiction Science examines how science and science fiction mutually inform one another and shape not only our sense of the future but also our understanding of the present.
Organized by Steve Anderson, Anne Balsamo, Anne Friedberg, Alice Gambrell, Perry Hoberman, Michael Naimark, Veronica Paredes, Douglas Thomas, Richard Weinberg and Holly Willis.
