Sebastian Groes is Senior Lecturer in English Literature at the University of Roehampton. Adam Roberts is a science fiction novelist and Professor of Nineteenth-Century Literature at Royal Holloway, London. Barry Smith is Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Institute of Philosophy at Birkbeck. Hugo Spiers is Senior Lecturer in Experimental Psychology at UCL.
