It includes texts by Alex McDowell, the award-winning creative director who successfully stages Steven Spielberg's future films; Angela Wilkinson, who reports on her work as Secretary General of the World Energy Council; and, last but not least, David Kirby, who writes about the useful collaboration between industry and science fiction.
