*Science Fiction & ... Economic Crisis!*

*May 24 at 12pm*

*Virtual Event*



This free lecture series continues with a conversation with Hugh O’Connell
and Malka Older, moderated by Sherryl Vint.



Since the 2008 crash, concern about economic policies and another potential
crisis have been the topic of much popular culture. Additionally, ongoing
work on robotics and automation have led many to believe we are rushing
toward a future in which most jobs will no longer require humans. Science
fiction literature frequently reflects on these topics, depicting both
dystopian futures we may soon inhabit or, on the contrary, future worlds in
which new social structures or innovative technologies create abundance
instead of scarcity.



This series is sponsored by the Center for Ideas and Society, Speculative
Fictions and Cultures of Science Program, Palm Desert Center, and the Osher
Lifelong Learning Institute at UC Riverside.
