SFRA 2010 "Far Stars and Tin Stars: Science Fiction and the Frontier"

Dates: 
6/24/2010-6/27/2010

The idea of the frontier, as boundary, as limit, as the edge of the known and the start of the unknown, has been central to science fiction throughout its history. SFRA 2010, to be held at the Carefree Resort and Villas in Carefree, Arizona, will focus on the frontiers behind us and the territory ahead.
