Sci-fi lovers, take note! Melon 2018 – Hong Kong’s only dedicated festival on science fiction and innovation – is taking place tomorrow at JW Marriott Hotel.
Leading science fiction writers, scientists and tech fans alike will come together for a all-day discussion on the future of science fiction, upcoming trends in Chinese and Western sci-fi fictions, online games, virtual reality and interactive entertainment. Speakers will include renowned mathematician Yoon Ha Lee, AI expert Antoine Blondeau, sci-fi author Bao Shu, tech lawyer Philip Qu, sci-fi screenplay writer Anna Wu, industry pundit Yeoh Siew Hoon and many others.
According to Charlie Jane Anders, Hugo Award winner and speaker at last year’s event, “Speaking at the Melon Conference was a unique opportunity to get to meet some of China’s most brilliant new science fiction writers, not to mention great thinkers from all over the world. I learned so much, and came away with plenty of new ways of thinking about the future.”
Here’s hoping Melon 2018 continues that tradition of looking ahead into the future.
