How should we live and what are the consequences of the choices we make?

Experience how science fiction examines a range of ideas about culture, government, freedom, and the challenges that face our complex society, including:

  • Cities of Tomorrow – Visit the Victorian cityscape of the future, Fritz Lang's Metropolis and stunning computer-generated vistas of some of science fiction's famous cities, including those of The Jetsons, Blade Runner and The Matrix
  • Experimental Societies – Utopias, dystopias and everything in between
  • Out of the Ashes – Apocalyptic visions and the stories of those who must start over after “the end”
The needs of individuals and requirements of the community always demand uneasy acts of balance. While brave new worlds may not always live up to our expectations, the dreams and nightmares still have something important to teach us.
