OK? Here's what next week holds:
Out of this world?: Why Science Fiction speaks to us allFriday 20 May 18.30 -20.00
The British Library Conference Centre
Throughout history, people have asked ‘what if?’. We have always allowed our imaginations to create other worlds as expressions of our wildest dreams, hopes and fears, and so better to understand our own. ‘Science Fiction’ expresses this human need in potent ways, but so does the work of Swift, Lewis Carroll and George Orwell. The story and present state of our speculations are explored by Erik Davis, China Miéville, Adam Roberts and Tricia Sullivan. Chaired by Sam Leith.
Tickets £7.50 / £5 available at http://boxoffice.bl.uk, by calling 01937 546546 (9am-5pm Mon-Fri) or in person at The British Library
Do come! There's lots of other sfnal stuff stuff going on at the BL over the summer, too. And The British Library exhibition ‘Out of this World: Science Fiction but not as you know it’ opens on Friday 20 May as well. Come! I insist!

Booked my ticket for this only yesterday and am looking forward to attending. The exhibition looks very interesting, too.

Did you notice Frank Skinner in the front row of your talk at the British Library last night? Did he stick around to get a book signed?
