Without a doubt, we can safely say that Siti Khalijah Zainal is one of our absolute favourite actresses in the local theatre scene.

When Fiction Becomes Fact: Sci-fi and the Fate of Humanity by Ken Liu (Singapore Writers Festival 2017)

If science fiction is almost always wrong, why read it in the first place? That is a position that author Ken Liu often finds himself defending to the sci-fi skeptics. And certainly, one the Harvard Law School graduate does so beautifully in his entertaining and eloquent lecture on the power of science fiction last Sunday at the Arts House Chamber.
