I'll be making a guest appearance at the Sci-Fi Short Story Club, discussing "The Sound-Sweep" - one of a couple of acutely imaginative tales involving music of the future dreamed up by J.G. Ballard.
The event, hosted by Los Angeles Public Library, is loosely tied to Futuromania - which features a extended essay about the ways in which science fiction writers have grappled with the challenge of imagining the future forms and functions of music. So in addition to "The Sound-Sweep" and Ballard's work, the discussion will encompass the broader subject of the interface between s.f. + music
The book club meets by Zoom, so I can see no reason why - beyond issues of time zone differences - someone who doesn't live in LA could attend, if they fancied.
This free event takes place at 6 pm PDT, on Wednesday July 17th.
Reading J.G.'s 1960 story in advance is helpful if you wish to participate in the discussion, but not essential.
