How much science fiction is based on fact and what happens when writers work with scientists to create new stories?
Writers Sara Maitland and Michael Arditti join their scientific collaborators Dr Jennifer Rowntree, an evolutionary ecologist, and Dr John Harrison, a geneticist, to read from their work and to discuss how research ideas are used creatively in the writing process.
Their work appears in the anthology When It Changed and the editor Geoff Ryman chairs their discussion and takes questions from the audience.
Also part of Southbank Centre's London Literature Festival.
