Ross Island
They go back decades, from collections of award-winning to stories to the "best of" print magazines to early themes around creators or concepts. Today, they\'re often found as crowd-funded projects or as a reliable part of publisher lineups. What\'s the appeal to anthologies, what makes for a good one, and who\'s publishing the ones you need to seek out today?

Losing Track of Reality
Friday October 18, 2024 8:00pm - 8:50pm PDT
Ross Island
Whether from false news stories created and exploited by politicians and the media, disinformation promulgated for profit, and entertainment fantasy taken too seriously, reality in history and science seem under attack. Is this actually getting worse?  Could the inability of a faux-news fed public to deal realistically with the scientific issues of diseases, overpopulation, and climate change pose an existential threat to humanity? What, as writers and readers, should we do about it?
