Hear Robert J. Sawyer Speak in Dallas!
This Wednesday at 7:30 PM Robert J. Sawyer will be speaking at UT Dallas. Official details are at the UTD website. From Sawyer’s blog:
As smartphones get smarter and computers get faster, humans, who err and just get slower with age, seem to be almost superfluous at times. But award-winning science fiction novelist Robert J. Sawyer isn’t overly worried.
The winner of Nebula and Hugo Awards for best science fiction writing will explore the issue of human obsolescence in a lecture at UT Dallas. The program, “Forget About Killer Robots: How Humanity Will Continue to Prosper After the Advent of Super-Intelligent Machines,” is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 15, at 7:30 p.m. in the Conference Center.
This event is part of UT Dallas’ “Incite Your Curiosity: Exploring Human Enhancement” lectures, presented by the Center for Values in Medicine, Science and Technology. The lecture is free and open to the public.

Really looking forward to this. It’s not often that we get big name authors like Sawyer coming to Dallas so we’re getting a WWEnd group together to go see him. Should be fun.
This makes me wish I lived near Dallas, I loved "Calculating God"
It was an interesting talk and well attended. I do wish he had more time; it was really entertaining. As it was, he kept checking his watch and had to cut off abruptly at the end because of time constraints. I got him to sign Calculating God and Rollback at the end so I’m happy.
