Held in the fall, Clarion West’s Deep Dive conversation series brings speculative fiction authors to Seattle for conversations with local and international experts on the real-world intersections of science fiction and science and how each can inspire and inform the other.
The 2025 series will be held at the Seattle Central Library includes conversations with Cory Doctorow, Ed Zitron, Daniel H. Wilson…. Events are free to the public but registration is required. [Events are streamed live with CART service provided in English]. Tickets are available for purchase to access VIP meet and greets with our guests in the library’s Red Hall. Proceeds benefit Clarion West’s expansive educational opportunities for emerging writers of speculative fiction and the programming that puts them in touch with their readers.
UPCOMING CONVERSATIONS
10/16/2025 – HOLE IN THE SKY with Daniel H. Weber
10/22/2025 – ENSHITTIFICATION AND THE ROT ECONOMY with Cory Doctorow and Ed Zitron
Join Cory Doctorow (Enshittification) and Ed Zitron (Better Offline) for a discussion of how reckless tech policy created an enshittogenic environment that allowed the worst people in our most structurally important corporations to turn them into vast, remorseless extraction machines, without facing any government, market, technological or labor consequences – and to learn how we can build a new, good internet that will serve as the nervous system for a 21st century where we are confronting genocide, environmental collapse and fascism.
