Laura Jean McKay, Norman Erikson Pasaribu, and Sequoia Nagamatsu explore the power of speculative fiction to educate and influence our behavior by ultimately posing the “what if?” question through their works. Through highly imaginative narrative, the genre can encourage us to embrace the vision of a better world whilst at times showing us the darker side of an unimaginable, disturbing future

Norman Erikson Pasaribu attend this session online

Laura Jean McKay, Norman Erikson Pasaribu, dan Sequoia Nagamatsu mengeksplorasi kekuatan fiksi spekulatif untuk mendidik dan memengaruhi perilaku kita dengan mengajukan pertanyaan “bagaimana jika?” melalui karya mereka. Melalui narasi yang sangat imajinatif, genre ini dapat mendorong kita untuk merangkul visi dunia yang lebih baik sementara terkadang menunjukkan sisi gelap dari masa depan yang mengganggu dan tak terbayangkan.
