Hello - is anyone here going to be at Capricon? (Chicago, January 27-30.) The theme of the con is "Armageddon", so, what with being one of the planetary experts on the subject and all, I finally gave in and decided to try my hand at SF convention panels. Now I'm trying to gather panelists.
The panels are:
"Nanotechnological warfare: Apocalypse in real life." and
"The transhuman Singularity: The rise of greater-than-human intelligence."
If you're going to Capricon and you think you'd like to talk about either or both of humanity's available options, please contact me.
Info on Capricon is at http://www.capricon.org
