David Mack, the New York Times bestselling author of forty novels, has built a wide-ranging career across science fiction, fantasy, and adventure, with credits spanning Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, audio drama, and comics. Join us as we talk about Echoes in Eternity, his new Star Trek novel celebrating the original series’ 60th anniversary, Picard: Firewall, and his Wolverine novel Road of Bones.
Science fiction and fantasy have always let us envision worlds beyond our own. But who gets to imagine those worlds, and whose voices get to shape the future?
Today, we're joined by Shawyonia Pettigrew, the visionary behind Moonlight and Mawazo, an initiative dedicated to amplifying underrepresented voices in speculative fiction and creating space for stories that challenge conventions, celebrate cultural identity, and expand storytelling possibilities.
We'll explore the power of imagination as a force for change, the importance of representation in science fiction and fantasy, and what it takes to create opportunities for the next generation of storytellers.
So settle in, because today we're talking about more than just telling stories. We're talking about who gets to tell them, why they matter, and how they can change the world.
