incidents and accidents, hints and allegations

It has been An Evening in Chateau Steelypips, so I'm just pasting things in without formatting; please comment on them!

Also there is weirdly a lot of programming at 8:30 in the morning?? For example, on Saturday I am scheduled against BOTH the Good Place panel and 50 Panels in 75 Minutes.

Friday: 1:00 PM - 2:15 PM
Assembly:
Disaggregated Identity In Recent SciFi
Annalee Newitz's 2017 novel Autonomous shares thematic echoes with Rebecca Sugar's Steven Universe, Martha Wells's All Systems Red and Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch trilogy (Ancillary Justice and its sequels). They tell stories of networked identity and body violation. What is it like to have unaccountable masters who can alter your mind? How similar is that to being misinformed and betrayed, in normal human ways, by people and organizations who have power over you? Who gets to choose whether to be plugged in, to fuse, and with whom? How do these stories reflect our networked lives, online socializing and work, and the role of technology and bodily affordances in group and identity formation?
M: Kate Nepveu. Mary Amanda Clark, Annalee Newitz, Benjamin Rosenbaum

Friday: 4:00 PM - 5:15 PM
Conference 2:
Join The Mod Squad: Enhance Your Moderation Skills
Ever go to a panel and spend your time thinking, "With a good moderator, this would be a much better panel"? We will review several ways to be that good moderator, offer tips and tricks, and generally work on improving WisCon's already high standards for panel moderation. We strongly encourage you to attend this panel if you are moderating at WisCon, especially if it's your first time. It's also a great experience if you ever have been, or think you ever will be, a panel moderator anywhere.
