Questlove and S.A. Cosby in Conversation with Recess Therapy’s Julian Shapiro-Barnum: Time for a Change

Feb 17, 2026

Please submit questions for the speakers in the chat starting on February 17 at approximately 7 pm ET.

Join Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson — six-time Grammy winner, Academy Award-winning filmmaker, New York Times-bestselling author, and cultural polymath — and New York Times-bestselling novelist S.A. Cosby for a celebration of Time for a Change, the second book in their electrifying sci-fi trilogy for young readers.

Bringing the same restless curiosity and deep love of culture that defines his music and books to the young readers page, Questlove with S.A. Cosby are bursting with ideas and irresistibly readable, mind-expanding adventures for young readers — and for anyone who believes sci-fi, like great music, can change how we envision the world.

Following their pulse-pounding debut in Rhythm of Time, best friends Rahim and Kasia are back — and this time they’re not alone. Recruited by a mysterious organization from the future, the duo is tasked with protecting the fragile flow of history. What follows is a dizzying, delightful ride through parallel dimensions, shadowy alliances, robot alliances, and the high-stakes question of who gets to shape tomorrow.

Hear Questlove and Cosby discuss the new installment of their collaboration, the parallel worlds of science fiction and music, the restless imagination it takes to envision new worlds, and much more.
