There is brilliant material from writers outside the U.S and it doesn't get enough attention here. In our January 1 meeting, subject matter experts Ruhan Zhao, David Pascal and Gabriel Prajitura spoke on the history and public perception of speculative fiction in China, the Soviet Union, and Romania.

What's Coming

We'd like to congratulate Nancy Kress, who's been awarded the Nebula for her novella "Fountains of Age"!

Here's what we're planning to discuss in upcoming meetings:

  • Gender, Power and Superpowers (June 3): How have superpowers changed with our society? Wonder Woman not only had to save the world, but make sure that her man got the credit for it. Things are completely different now, with Rogue and other strong female characters — or are they? In the Incredibles, why couldn't the Mom get the muscles and the Dad be super-accomodating? Is there a difference between superpowers and magic powers? Is Superman TOO super to be believed?
  • Stay tuned -- in coming months we'll be discussing speculative art, science fiction / speculative fiction and drama, what it's like to write for big TV science fiction shows (like, oh, I don't know, ST:TNG), and graphical storytelling (anime, manga, and graphic novels). We're talking about what kinds of cutting edge technology will be most important in our new future. And our meetings are a great place to get the latest scuttlebutt on progress toward publication of our North Shore: 2034 speculative fiction anthology!
