Humanity+ @San Francisco - http://2012.humanityplus.org The power of writing is the change it creates in the minds of the readers, and thus the world. But very different strategies apply for alternative topics and types of readers (i.e. fiction vs. non-fiction, entertainment vs. inspiration vs. persuasion). This talk is a break down of ways in which writing can be used to affect others, to make a career for oneself -- and give pointed advice to potential writers. == Writing the Future == Of special significance is the theme 'Writing the Future'. The aim is to encourage refined communication about the future in creative ways, and thereby promote serious attention to the opportunities and risks we are facing. Produced by Adam A. Ford
