Warren Ellis Daniel Suarez Bruce Sterling #sxsw #MLSXSW #MLSciFi Science fiction explores our wildest dreams and biggest fears about the future of technology, spurring us on to greater ideas and grander possibilities. But sci-fi is equally concerned with the challenges of the present. As we continue to reach and surpass some of science fiction's most extraordinary speculative technologies, have we kept pace morally and ethically? Distinguished authors Warren Ellis, Daniel Suarez, and Bruce Sterling will join Media Lab Director Joi Ito for a discussion of cyborgs, dystopias, surveillance, AI, and everything in between. |

The space of applications supported by our mobile devices has dwarfed their original purpose thereby creating richer interaction experiences for users. As computing capabilities grow and form-factors evolve, the most pronounced limitation with mobile devices is display size. |

Case and Molly is a prototype for a game inspired by (and in homage to) William Gibson's novel Neuromancer. It's about the coordination between virtual and physical, "cyberspace" and "meat." We navigate the tension between our physical surroundings and our digital networks in a state of continuous partial attention; Case and Molly uses the mechanics and aesthetics of Neuromancer to explore this quintessential contemporary dynamic. The game is played by two people mediated by smartphones and an Oculus Rift VR headset. |
