About This Event
Join Dr. Fred Gould, University Distinguished Professor of Entomology at NC State, for a discussion of biopunk sci-fi cult classic The Windup Girl. The novel, which won the 2010 Nebula and Hugo Awards for best novel, explores questions like, “what happens when calories become currency?” and “what happens when bio-terrorism becomes a tool for corporate profits?”
This discussion is in conjunction with Art’s Work/Genetic Futures art-science exhibition organized by the NC State University Libraries and GES Center.
