Pat Cadigan's Cyberpunk Realities (WisCon 31 panel)
Reading, Viewing, and Critiquing SF&F•Assembly• Saturday, 10:00-11:15 a.m.
SF writer Pat Cadigan's novels take us inside the lives of cybernetic therapists, cops, media artists, and even the dead. Cadigan's futures are both fantastic and believable, intertwining virtual and real worlds in a way now part of the lives of many geeks. While science fiction has a lousy track record predicting the future, Cadigan's novels and stories anticipate the questions we're dealing with in our blogs and "Second Lives."
