Science Fiction TV Dinner: 'Battlestar Galactica'

What are the challenges of sustaining a human society in space? How should we govern ourselves and endure political crises in an environment dangerously starved of resources? More importantly, how do we keep all these plates spinning while also fighting a generational war with hyper-intelligent artifical intelligence of our own making? The 2000s version of "Battlestar Galactica" explores these questions and tensions through gripping storytelling about cataclysmic violence and its aftermath as well as how emerging technologies like artificial intelligence strain our social, political and ethical norms and structures.

Join us for a Science Fiction TV Dinner with special guest Anne Cofell Saunders, writer and story editor for "Battlestar Galactica" and producer of other fan-favorite series including "Timeless," "Revolution," "Smallville," and "Chuck." Saunders will be joined by Ed Finn, director for the Center for Science and the Imagination, and Michael G. Bennett, an expert working at the intersection of law, technology, science and culture.

We’ll have dinner for the first 150 guests.
