None of us believe Mr. Darcy or Oliver Twist are real, no matter how much we might wish it so. Yet fiction's most fantastical creations have a habit of leaping into reality. Does imagination create reality, and if so, do we need to conjure new visions of better worlds to relegate the darkness of the present? The Panel Author of the Thursday Next series Jasper Fforde, The Ego Trick author Julian Baggini, and author of The Utopia Experiment Dylan Evans confront the limits of reality.
