Anticipation lists the names of program participants in a new press release that follows the jump.

A prestigious addition is 2008 Nobel Laureate in Economics Professor Paul Krugman of the Economics and International Affairs at Princeton University and centenary professor at the London School of Economics:

He has credited Isaac Asimov’s “Foundation” novels with inspiring him to choose his field, and will be speaking about his experiences in a program item entitled “From SF Reader to Economist.” He will also have a conversation with Charles Stross, author of the Hugo nominated novel Saturn’s Children.

Anticipation: Press Release #28, July 27, 2009
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Anticipation is pleased to announce that a preliminary programme schedule is now online. Any changes to the final printed programming schedule will be noted in programming updates both online and distributed at Anticipation. Our program participants include scientists, writers, artists, musicians, professors, editors, fans, and convention organizers, many of whom have agreed to speak with the press. A partial list of those who have agreed to speak with the press is included in this release; please contact [email protected] for details if you wish to interview any of them.

A page with the full list of programme participants (including our Guests of Honour, Neil Gaiman, Élisabeth Vonarburg, David Hartwell, Tom Doherty and Master of Ceremonies, Julie Czerneda) has been published and is available online.

Many individuals included were previously mentioned in our Also Attending list, available since earlier this year, but a number of new names are present, among them 2008 Nobel Laureate in Economics Professor Paul Krugman of the Economics and International Affairs at Princeton University and centenary professor at the London School of Economics. He has credited Isaac Asimov’s “Foundation” novels with inspiring him to choose his field, and will be speaking about his experiences in a program item entitled “From SF Reader to Economist”. He will also have a conversation with Charles Stross, author of the Hugo nominated novel “Saturn’s Children”.

Another notable attendee from outside the science fiction field is Melissa Auf der Maur. She will present her new project, “Out of Our Minds”, a multimedia concept album featuring a CD, a fantasy film, and a comic. The film, “OOOM”, was an Official Selection of the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
