After WorldCon in Dublin, I’m heading straight up to Belfast for TitanCon/EuroCon. Looking forward to seeing the city and meeting more awesome authors and readers. My panel schedule:
Alien: 40 years on, Panel

The Matrix - 20 years on, Panel
24 Aug 2019, Saturday 13:00 - 14:00, Lagan A (Hilton Belfast)
In 1999, cinema viewers across the world were asked "What is The Matrix?" Twenty years on, the question still remains. On its face a groundbreaking SFX blockbuster, it can be read as a transgender parable, a treatise on the Philosophy of Mind, an object lesson on the dangers of Sequelitis, and more.
