Join us in STC 2002 on October 28 at 1:30 pm for a reading and conversation with Madhur Anand, professor and author of the newly released "".  In order to prepare for the conversation, you may want to consider these thoughts from Dr. Anand:

A tipping point is a point when a  threshold is crossed and leads to a sudden and often irreversible change, even when there are no obvious links to changes in the environment. There are three kinds:

1. bifurcation tipping - deterministic and caused by nonlinear feedback loops
2. noise-induced tipping - caused by random fluctuations
3. rate-induced' tipping- caused by a fast rate of change in a parameter of the environment

The protagonist in my novel is someone who wants to find the tipping point between fact/reality and fiction because she is a scientist and doesn't know how to make things up but wants to write a novel.
