We have a guest speaker today, Christiane Allison. She is a multi-award-winning author, which is impressive by itself, but what is even more impressive to me, is that she has accomplished this feat, among many others, while battling a chronic illness, HEDS. So, rather than letting her health beat her, she soldiers on, and some of the characters in her cyberpunk book were inspired by the struggle she has had. Her perspective makes her a great one to speak on world building today.
