Culture Shock! (WisCon 30 Panel)

Panel Description

Even here on Earth, it's hard for us to understand one another sometimes. So why should everyone on another planet talk and behave identically? Let's talk about SF and Fantasy that builds or depicts the complexities of culture, and considers the challenges of interactions between cultures. SF examples include works such as Mary Doria Russell's The Sparrow or Janet Kagan's Hellspark.
