SCHEDULE CHANGE: Please note we have swapped our Writers in Residence and our Guest Speaker schedule for August!
Join us in welcoming our guest, science fiction writer Kimberly Unger! In her breakout new techno-thriller, Kimberly delivers a badass cyberpunk heroine: Eliza McKay, a disgraced underground hacker who specializes in the most dangerous jobs. Gaming expert Unger has created an edgy virtual playground where the wealthy still make their own rules, but a skilled operator is always the wild card.
Kimberly made her first videogame back when the 80-column card was the new hot thing and followed that up with degrees in English/Writing from UC Davis and Illustration from the Art Center College of Design. Nowadays she produces narrative games, lectures on the intersection of art and code for UCSC’s master’s program, and writes science fiction about how all these app-driven superpowers are going to change humanity. [Unger writes about fast robots, big explosions, and space things.] She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she works in the future of virtual reality on the Meta-Oculus gaming platform.
