Space Fiction
9th - 24th February 2013
From The First Men in the Moon to the Hitch-hikers’ Guide To The Galaxy, science fiction has transported, tantalised and terrified us with visions of technologically advanced futures and far-flung worlds.In the era of Kindle, twitter and Audible, the way we enjoy science-fiction has changed, but the stories remain as compelling as ever.
The National Space Centre will be celebrating the history, present and future of Science Fiction during February half-term with a jam-packed programme of special guests, fun activities and a special competition where you get to decide which is the ‘Best Science Fiction Book of All Time!’
Each day we will have science fiction authors presenting readings form their books and discussing the appeal of science fiction. To find out who is on when, check out our at-a-glance schedule.
Remember, when you book to come to the National Space Centre,
you can upgrade your ticket to a FREE annual pass, meaning you
can come back every day at no extra cost!
“Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as
ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today - but the core of science
fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved
at all.” Isaac Asimov
