Now that the dust has settled and the NMC 2007 summer conference is one for the history books, thought I'd do a little link wrap-up.

Many of the presenters submitted their presentations for online posting, and some sessions were even recorded for podcast. The full list of available presentations is on the NMC site: NMC Summer Conference Presentations. Check them out - they've included the poster sessions, too, several of which were facinating!

As promised, here is Ted Castronova's keynote address from the NMC conference: Edward Castronova: Fantasy Regnant

The "take-away" is this: This century is going to be one dominated by creations of fantasy authors. Ted's not necessarily even speaking about a domination of media or even culture, but rather of our work, our politics and even our daily lives.

It's audio only, but well worth a listen. (I'm looking for his slide presentation online - I'll link it if it turns up).
