I’m Giving a Keynote Address at the Science+Fiction Cyborg Expo in Düsseldorf Nov 6-8

October 22, 2015

Attention folks in Europe: I’m thrilled to be giving a keynote talk at the Science+Fiction Cyborg Expo in Düsseldorf, Nov 6-8 2015.

My talk will be about the relationship between science and fiction, how stories are a future-building technology and how they can be used for personal enhancement.

I am currently scheduled to speak at 6 pm on Friday Nov 6. The event is hosted by Cyborgs e.V. and the NRW-Forum Düsseldorf and is taking place at NRW-Forum Düsseldorf in conjunction with the Ego Update art exhibition.

The talk may be live-streamed and will likely be recorded, so watch this space for more information about that. If you’re in the area, I hope to see you there!

Elsinore Robotics is on the cusp of a breakthrough—the company is poised to create the first humanoid androids powered by true artificial intelligence. Their only rival, Norwegian Technologies, lost a publicly streamed contest between their flagship model, Fortinbras, and Elsinore’s HAM(let) v.1.

But when the first Hamlet model is found irreparably deactivated, the apparent victim of wild malware, the field of consumer cybernetics is thrown wide open.
