This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Tom Swift series of books. To celebrate, the 100th anniversary Tom Swift Convention will be held in San Diego.
The Tom Swift series, and later Tom Swift Jr. and other similar series, introduced readers to marvelous adventures in the near and far future. Sometimes, as in the first and fourth series, the adventures seemed like something which could occur in the “today” when the books were published. Other series were set in the near or far future.
The goal of this convention is to draw attention to these influential books and give fans, scholars, and people who were influenced by them a chance to gather together and celebrate the anniversary.
SD Space director Jeff Berkwits will give a presentation at the convention.
