Speakers

Vera Bogdanova
Writer
Roman Kantor

Grigory Sluzhitel
Writer
Konstantin Milchin
Literary critic and journalist
In his novel Neuromancer, William Gibson predicted virtual reality; Mary Shelley foresaw transplantation in Frankenstein and in his film To the Lake, Roman Kantor anticipated the current pandemic. At this event we’ll discuss how literature senses the future, why writers manage to predict events, which of their predictions have already become a reality, and what professional scholars and futurologists make of this.
