Author Talk with David Baron: The Martians
Wednesday, October 07
7:00pm - 8:00pm
Huntington Public Library Main Building
HPL Adult ZoomA mere century ago, Martians were thought to be real—not fictional—creatures. Best-selling author David Baron spent seven years investigating this strange case of mass delusion.
In his fast-paced, highly illustrated talk—filled with period photographs and depictions of the putative Martians themselves—he reveals what the episode says about the human mind: the fallibility of our senses, the power of belief, and the lure of sensationalism. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link for this program. Open to all.
