Out of this world — with Booker Prize winning author Samantha Harvey
For all of human history, space has been a place of mystery, awe and fascination. But unless you're an astronaut, a billionaire, or a pop star, most of us will never have the opportunity to travel there — except in our minds. This conversation features two writers who've used the perspective of space to explore our humanity, Earth's place in the universe, and the meaning of it all.
The conversation, Out of this World was recorded live at the 2025 Sydney Writers' Festival.
