Talk

Please note: This event ended on 27 June 2025

In this Lunchtime Talk, we'll hear from Tim X Atack on how technology is used in fiction.

How do storytellers make fictional technologies seem not merely convincing, but emotionally true? And what can this tell us about developing the real-world technologies we use to tell our stories?
