Lee Newbery

Holomonsters

Hay Festival 2026, 

Join the game that comes alive… Lee Newbery – author of The Last Firefox, winner of the Wales Book of the Year People’s Choice Award – introduces his new series in an action-packed, gaming-themed event exploring tech, AI and the power of imagination. Holomonsters imagines a next-level gaming development, in which fantastical creatures are projected into the real world as holograms. But at Holomonsters HQ, not all is as it seems. Lee shares his inspiration, from animals to Pokémon, and answers your burning questions, as well as hosting an epic, live Holomonsters card battle and helping you create your own Holomonster!

Ymunwch â’r gêm sy’n dod yn fyw… mae Lee Newbery – awdur The Last Firefox, enillydd Gwobr Dewis y Bobl Llyfr y Flwyddyn Cymru – yn cyflwyno ei gyfres newydd mewn digwyddiad llawn antur wedi’i seilio ar fyd gemau, ac yn archwilio technoleg, Deallusrwydd Artiffisial a phŵer dychymyg. Mae Holomonsters yn dychmygu datblygu chwarae gemau ar y lefel nesaf, lle mae creaduriaid anghyffredin yn cael eu taflunio i’r byd go iawn fel hologramau. Ond nid yw popeth fel y mae’n ymddangos ym Mhencadlys Holomonsters. Mae Lee yn rhannu ei ysbrydoliaeth, o anifeiliaid i Pokémon, ac yn ateb eich cwestiynau llosg, yn ogystal â chynnal gornest gardiau Holomonsters epig, fyw, a’ch helpu chi i greu eich Holomonster eich hun!
