If you’re not planning to be in Cedar Rapids, Iowa from October 13-15, consider it. I’m scheduled to appear at ICON, the science fiction convention there. Cedar Rapids means a lot to me—I grew up in that city.

3 pm The Rapid Increase of Population Growth (with Paul Price)
4 pm Author Readings (with Tricia Anderson)
7 pm Artificial Intelligence in a World of Creators (with Tony Penticoff and Joseph Isenberg)

I’ve never been to ICON, and I’m looking forward to it. They’re holding the con at the Cedar Rapids Marriott at 1200 Collins Road NE. Online registration for the con is closed, but you can register at the door.
All I can say is—hey, Cedar Rapids, I’m back! We’ll see if the old town can stand a whole weekend of—
