Our tribute to Le Guin\, who died last year at 88\, will start by screening the recent documentary about her life\, “Worlds of Ursula K. Le Guin.” A conversation will follow with Arwen Curry\, the filmmaker; Annalee Newitz\, journalist and author most recently of the novel “Autonomous”; Kim Stanley Robinson\, Le Guin’s friend and sci-fi legend; and David Streitfeld\, reporter and author of the new compilation “Ursula K.

SUMMARY:Panel at SF MoMA
DESCRIPTION:The Redirect: Technology after Capitalism \nApril 25th\, 2019 7-8PM \nSan Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, Phyllis Wattis Theater\n151 Third Street San Francisco\, CA 94103 \n\n\nA collaboration between Public Books and SFMOMA’s Public Knowledge initiative\, this discussion explores how tech might be redirected beyond capitalism\, towards an alternative future. Could new technologies\, whether imagined or real\, point to a shared future of economic cooperation and democratic decision-making? Could new technologies prioritize addressing human needs and the greater threat of climate change? Or has history shown us that our faith in tech is misplaced—that its abuses and manipulations outweigh its potential to liberate? Referencing science fiction\, art\, design\, and beyond\, the panelists investigate the possibilities of a new technological dawn. \nPanelists: \nFinn Brunton\, assistant professor in Media\, Culture\, and Communication at NYU Steinhardt\, author of Digital Cash: The Unknown History of the Anarchists\, Utopians\, and Technologists Who Created Cryptocurrency \nKim Stanley Robinson\, writer of science fiction\, author of the trilogy Red Mars and New York 2140. \nAndrea Steves\, curator\, Museum of Capitalism \nXiaowei Wang\, designer\, developer and dreamer\, creative director at Logic Magazine. \nCaitlin Zaloom\, editor-in-chief of Public Books (moderator)\n \n\nEvent site

DESCRIPTION:“Science is Politics by Other Means”: Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars Trilogy \nTue May 29\, 2018\n6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Location: Lillian H. Smith  \nKim Stanley Robinson’s Mars trilogy (Red Mars\, Green Mars\, Blue Mars) tells the story of making Mars into a habitable planet. It explores climate change\, revolution\, and scientific communication in an environment where no one can deny the lack of breathable air or potable water nor the bitter cold temperatures and wind storms.  \nThe trilogy offers lessons to environmentalists and science-fiction enthusiasts both. These novels present the struggle for a future scientific utopia; they show the dystopian proportions of the damage done to scientific pursuits by capitalism and to the climate by capitalist science. \nPresented by Brent Ryan Bellamy\, University of Alberta. \nEvent site

SUMMARY:Mt. Thoreau at Bay Area Book Festival
DESCRIPTION:Gary Snyder & Kim Stanley Robinson: Mt. Thoreau\, Civil Disobedience\, and Naming What Can’t Be NamedSaturday\, April 28 | 3:15 PM – 4:30 PM\nFreight & Salvage\, 2020 Addison St.\, Berkeley\, CA \nGary Snyder\, Kim Stanley Robinson\, Laurie Glover\, introduced by Jack Shoemaker \nLegendary Zen poet (and Pulitzer Prize winner) Gary Snyder and his friend Kim Stanley Robinson\, the renowned science fiction writer and environmentalist\, had an adventure up their sleeve. They were going to hike up an unnamed peak in the Sierras near Mt. Emerson and christen it Mt. Thoreau. You aren’t allowed to just name peaks\, as Robinson wrote in an account of the adventure\, “Is It Civil Disobedience to Name a Mountain for Thoreau?” They did the deed\, despite what they felt surely would have been Thoreau’s disapproval. They come to us now to talk about civil disobedience\, nature writing\, the environmental movement\, poetry\, and naming what can’t ultimately ever really be named. In conversation with Laurie Glover\, the editor of “Naming Mt. Thoreau\,” and Snyder’s longtime publisher Jack Shoemaker of Counterpoint Press. \nEvent site
