DESCRIPTION:Author Justin C. Key (The Hospital at the End of the World) and Lakshmi Krishnan join Clarion West’s Deep Dives conversation series on Horror and A.I. in Medicine\, discussing data privacy\, innovation in treatments\, and\, the promises and the horrors of unregulated futures in healthcare tech foretold by science-fiction. \n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT OUR SPEAKERS\n\n\n\nJustin C. Key is a practicing psychiatrist and a speculative fiction writer. He is the author of the debut novel The Hospital at the End of the World and the story collection The World Wasn’t Ready for You.

A dual-trained clinician-scholar\, she earned her MD from Johns Hopkins and her doctorate in English literature from the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar\, with postgraduate training in internal medicine and the history of medicine at Duke and Johns Hopkins.

Make a Donation in Lieu of Attending!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Deep Dives\n\n\n\nClarion West’s Deep Dives series places an author of speculative fiction in a moderated conversation with a scientist or other expert in subject matter relevant to the author’s work. The goal is to contextualize the fantastic in ways that relate to our shared reality\, and help guide media literacy of speculative literature. The series itself is our fall fundraiser in support of Clarion West’s programming and each event includes a VIP reception\, conversation\, and book signing for the featured authors. The theme for 2026 is “Futures Less Dystopian.” \n\n\n\nThe Deep Dives conversation series is made possible in part by support from:
