New Wave SF Zoom Zymposium

New Wave SF Zoom Syposium

Hosted by the City Lights Bookstore and PM Press

February 26 and 27, 2022

I'm on the PM Press email distro list - for having purchased Dangerous Visions and New Worlds: Radical Science Fiction - and I have gotten notice of a 'virtual', Zoom-based symposium that is being hosted by the City Lights bookstore in San Francisco. 

The symposium has an all-star lineup (below) of well-known sci-fi authors, and the contributors to Dangerous Visions.

I'm not sure how many of my blog readers would be interested in this symposium, but I thought I'd promote it.

Here is a hyperlink to the website to register for the symposium. 

[ The organizers seem to me to be a little over-optimistic in arranging something this large, with speakers in different countries and different time zones, over Zoom, but, well..........guess we'll see........ ]
