Annalee Newitz @Annaleen

Loved chatting with @rmorast about what's coming in the next 6-18 months in the Bay Area. Extremely near future science fiction!

And @Annaleen on point as usual "I think we need to start saying, “Things are going to change. Things have changed. Things are going to change again.” I don’t think it’s ever going to be same as it was. It’s living in a world where we will change." https://t.co/u3gkHj2slM
