Video of My Keynote Speech at the Annual Libertarian Futurist Society Prometheus Award Ceremony
A few days ago, I had the honor of giving the keynote speech at the Libertarian Futurist Society’s annual Prometheus Awards ceremony. My talk was on the topic of “Libertarianism and Science Fiction.” It explains why libertarian ideas are much more prevalent in science fiction and fantasy than in other fiction genres, why it matters, and a few lessons libertarians may be able to draw from this. I also presented the Prometheus Hall of Fame Award to Aldous Huxley’s classic work, Brave New World. The award was accepted by a representative of the Huxley estate and two of the author’s grandchildren.
See here for a more detailed description of the awards and the various winners.
I addressed the issues covered in the talk in greater detail in a 2011 article on “Libertarianism and Science Fiction.” The talk in some ways updates the analysis; but much more can be said. When and if time allows, I would like to revisit this theme. I have previously written various other articles and book chapters about political themes in science fiction and fantasy, most recently here.
Below is the video of the awards ceremony. My talk goes from about 1:30 to 14:40.
