“Technology has never been more a part of our lives than now–and it’s never been more complicated either. My sci-fi trilogy that begins with Unplugged, takes up our relationship and our addiction to our phones, social media, and the apps that have come to dominate our lives and explores them in the way that only sci-fi can, and I’ll be discussing not only the inspiration for Skylar and her story of living between the Real World and the App World, but also how her story and struggles are inspired by our own. If you love (or hate!) your smartphone and social media, this discussion is for you!”
