How much science do science fiction writers really know, and how does it find its way into their stories? What role can the genre play in communicating science? And do we still enjoy, despite everything, stories that defy the laws of science?

With an informative approach and a playful spirit, Eduardo Sáenz de Cabezón and Gisela Baños will revisit some of the genre’s best-known works and put them through a rigorous scientific fact-check, exploring the science — and the mistakes, creative liberties and imaginative leaps — behind them.

Free admission, subject to capacity. Book signing.
Ja! Festival Friends: priority seating in the front rows with prior registration.

Event organised in collaboration with the Chair of Scientific Culture – University of the Basque Country (EHU).
