What kind of future should we create? Join Elle Griffin, author of The Elysian, to study utopian worldbuilding in Ada Palmer's Terra Ignota series and discuss the future we want to create.
Ada Palmer’s Terra Ignota series is a masterpiece of utopian worldbuilding. The author is a historian and professor of Renaissance, Enlightenment, and Humanist studies, and she uses those ideals to build a vast and beautiful future. Let’s talk about each element of the Terra Ignota world, compare them to those Enlightenment ideals of the past, and discuss whether we can create a new Renaissance for our future.
