Ambition requires imagery - and science fiction has long been one of humanity’s most powerful tools for imagining what we must create, and what we must avoid creating. “Everything is becoming science fiction. From the margins of an almost invisible literature has sprung the intact reality of the 20th century.” - J. G. Ballard, Fictions of Every Kind The 21st century is even more so. Managing the future -and choosing which problems to tackle - has never been more urgent. We’re excited to co-host an evening of inspiration for founders and builders with @ObadiaAlex, @unrulyvc, and @RenPhil21 featuring a screening of Planet, the debut sci-fi short from @jasonjoyride of Story Company. The film follows Dr. Evren Kon’s eight-century mission to construct an artificial world - an ode to creation, persistence, and sacrifice. RSVP: luma.com/s0tcgaar Seats are highly limited.
