It۪s literature, Jim, but not as we know it

At Daniel Cobb۪s London Bridge office we۪re huge fans of science fiction, so when we heard that this year۪s London Literature Festival was all about Sci-fi, we took off at warp speed to book tickets.At the Southbank Centre between Wednesday 5 October and Sunday 16 October curious explorers۪ can enjoy out-of-this-world family events, presented by globally-renowned writers, futurologists and transhumanists. The festival programme, which opens with a performed reading of HG Wells۪ The Time Machine, aims to harness the power of science fiction to show us our shared humanity. It asks how, in uncertain times, writers can help human progress by showing us better worlds to come. & Events include a discussion on the limits of knowledge and evolution with Marcus du Sautoy and Richard Dawkins.The London LIterature Festival is just one of the exciting events planned for London۪s South Bank area between now and Christmas, making SE1 one of the most desirable places in the capital to live and work. If you۪re looking to buy or rent in SE1, call us today to view a glittering galaxy of south bank properties.

The world today increasingly resembles the realm of science fiction. From satellites which map our every movement to robots in the workplace, the stuff of fantasy is becoming reality. And beneath the surface of modern life, winds of change are coursing through every part of society, politics and beyond.
