Creating the Future we Want<\/h2>\n

Science Fiction and Fantasy are all about envisioning futures yet to come and worlds that don’t exist. We are in a unique moment in time – The Great Pause, as some are calling it. We have an opportunity to make choices that will create the future we want to live in, from social change (Black Lives Matter) to technological change (digital surveillance) to economic change (income equality) and more. Capricon 41 will ask members of science fiction fandom, pros and fans alike, to draw on our experience with worldbuilding, envision what could be, and talk about how to get there.<\/p>\n

What future do YOU want?<\/h2>\n

We want to know your vision for the future! Tell us about in a video (up to 2 minutes), in writing (up to 500 words) or in art! Submissions will be collected and shared through our website and social media and at the convention. Upload your art or writing or share a video link using this form<\/strong><\/a>. (Form requires a Google account, if you do not have one, you can email vision@capricon.org<\/a> instead.)<\/p>\n\n\n
