Liverpool Biennial 2016 artist Dennis McNulty has invited author Matthew de Abaitua to discuss the increasingly blurred boundary between technological advances and science fiction.

McNulty and de Abaitua will consider art and artificial intelligence, Liverpool's science fiction heritage, and their approaches to the vexed questions of the world to come: are we living in a dystopia; will we be able to control the future or will out-of-control become business-as-usual? 

Matthew de Abaitua will also read from his two latest novels: IF THEN and The Destructives.
