30th September-1st October - Several events

Ideas from physics, computing and philosophy have increasingly fed into the work of novelists, not only in science fiction but also "mainstream" fiction. Concepts such as virtual reality, alternate history or the "multiverse" have influenced popular culture and contemporary literature in diverse ways. This series of events brings together leading writers and thinkers to reflect on their "parallel" disciplines and explore possible bridges between them.

Confirmed participants:

Ian McEwan
Andrew McGettigan
Ken McLeod
Ian Moss
Matt Ridley
Scarlett Thomas
