What Future/Hope/New Myths are there for SF/F Readers Raised in a Dystopian Global Climate Change World?
11:00 AM ADT - 12:00 PM ADT | 1 hour
PopulatedLiterature

Finding examples of current SF dystopias is easy. But where are all of the utopias in our SF imagination? It seems that since the 1970s, it is more and more difficult for audiences to find examples of the perfect, harmonized future. Is anybody writing about utopia anymore? Does the lack of utopian fiction and film mean that we, as a society, have lost hope?
