This is my first arisia as a panelist:

zyxwvut mod, feste_sylvain, Jeff Hecht, Mike McPhail, ckd

Arisia Reads! Fri 10:00 PM
Walter Hunt mod, Genevieve Iseult Eldredge, feste_sylvain, Tyler Stewart, Susan Hanniford Crowley

I'll be recommending "Stand on Zanzibar", by John Brunner. Good luck to me, as there's no way I'll have time to re-read the whole thing.

I'll be talking about robots (obviously) and space-based solar power.

Susan Hanniford Crowley mod, feste_sylvain, Aimee Bouchard, wren13, Misty Pendragon

I appear to be the token male on that panel. Fortunately, I am just wrapping up the 7^th book in the series.

The program lists Polidari's "The Vampyre" as the first vampire story, when in fact, it was not. But it was the first aristocratic vampire story (to my knowledge), and thus qualifies more as a "story that changed everything".
