Crack a book, science fiction lovers! Summer is back and so are we. Attend four stellar Thursday nights this Summer. (6/8, 6/29, 7/6, and 8/24) Join Editor of Pravic Magazine David Gill and science fiction author Suhail Rafidi as they once again brave the Uncanny Valley, searching out the latest and greatest in science fiction writers.
This summer, we’ll be reading 6 short stories over the first 3 sessions (6/8, 6/29, 7/6) counterweighted by one thick novel (Kim Stanley Robinson’s, New York 2140) for the fourth and final discussion (8/24). So plenty of time to get started on the whopper. If pages were years, this book’d have millennia. Let’s rock.
How’s It Go?
Four Thursday night discussions, 7:00 PM Pacific (6/8, 6/29, 7/6, 8/24)
If you’re in the Bay Area and can make it live, contact us for the address.
