Meet Kim Stanley Robinson & Philip

Couple of things coming up in-world over the next few days that look interesting:

Kim Stanley Robinson

Our friends in Extropia are hosting a discussion with science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson at their regular Saturday Salon event this week, noon Jan. 17. Robinson is probably best known for his award-winning Mars trilogy - Red Mars, Green Mars and Blue Mars, which explore the near-future colonization of Mars. He’s also known for The Years of Rice and Salt, which looks at more than 500 years of alternate history in a world where the Europeans were virtually wiped out by the Black Death, and the world is dominated by Muslim, Chinese, and Hindus.

Read about Robinson’s appearance in SL on the Events in Extropia blog.
