For all things fantasy, horror, and speculative fiction
Announcement:
Golden Jubilee Event – Economics in SFFH
Have you ever wondered how the brave hero in that fantasy trilogy is funding his adventures? Or where the money for the spaceships comes from? How would magic and capitalism intersect? How would different economic systems influence the development of magic or technology in SFFH stories? Then join Allen Stroud, Jo Lindsay Walton and Hannah Kaner at 12:30 on Saturday as they discuss Economics in SFFH.

He works on computer games, TV, novels and short stories. His science fiction novels, Fearless and Resilient are published by Flame Tree Press.
Jo Lindsay Walton’s recent fiction appears in Fireside Fiction and Phase Change: Imagining Energy Futures, and his roleplaying game The Shrike is available from Sad Press Games. He co-edits Vector for the British Science Fiction Association, and is a Research Fellow at the Sussex Humanities Lab. www.jolindsaywalton.com mstdn.social/@jolwalton
