Noted Science Fiction Author to Discuss "Utopian Antarctica"Kim Stanley Robinson, author of the dystopian science fiction novel "Antarctic," will discuss the tensions between scientific and other activities on the Antarctic continent in a lecture on March 23 at the National Science Foundation. Robinson visited Antarctica in 1995 under the auspices of NSF's Antarctic Artists and Writers Program. Robinson is widely known as the author of the "Mars trilogy," about the colonization of the Red Planet. Two books in the series earned Hugo Awards, one of science fiction's highest honors. The New York Times hailed "Antarctica," which was published in the U.S. last year, as Robinson "in the top of his form." The views expressed by Robinson will be his own and do not necessarily reflect those of NSF or the U.S. Antarctic Program. Due to limited seating capacity, reporters who plan to attend should notify the media contact by 5 p.m. on Monday, March 22.
