The conversation
Why are these stories being told?
Following the first Messy Conversations, Mansa Gills and Asa Wilder will explore the creative vision behind The Divine Masquerade and the expanding Nex Universe, and the real-world experiences that inspire speculative fiction.
Together they'll consider how consciousness, spirituality, technology, social inequality, and human behavior intersect in fictional worlds, and how science fiction can challenge our understanding of the world around us.
