As part of the UNESCO City of Literature series of events around the release of The Lost World this month, The Skinny is hosting an event of its own:
'Digital Evolution: What Can Gaming Teach Us About Where Life Came From and Where It's Heading?'
7pm, Saturday 7 February (1hr 15 mins)
Out of the Blue Drill Hall, 30-38 Dalmeny Street, off Leith Walk, Edinburgh
Panelists will discuss the crossover (or lack of) between digital representations of life and our understanding of the real thing. In a world of looming virtual realities and cloning, these are big questions. On the panel are award-winning science fiction author Ken MacLeod, synthetic biologist Alistair Elfick, and genomics expert Steve Sturdy.
Tickets are FREE, to book a place just email evolution@theskinny.co.uk
