[close] The world has been plunged into near ruin, nothing but a desolate waste land. Only the Kings of Ill live in luxury while the survivors are stuck scavenging the ruin to survive. Death is common and many of those struggling have sought to create groups of rebellion, while others. Others have strayed and joined with the side of the evil dictators, merely for protection and to ensure there survival. What side will you be on? Will you rebel or cater to the corrupted rulers? Or perhaps be one of the rulers themselves.

[close] Currently seeking new members! About our book club: We are passionate about Science Fiction and the worlds therein, though our interests range from Space Operas and artificial intelligence to dystopias and post-apocalyptic survival. This group is meant to have a small size, for a couple of reasons. We think that a smaller group size produces meaningful conversations, and can help us build a little community of people with similar interests. Also, it allows your voice to be heard – you’ll have the opportunity to choose books more often, and to help guide conversation toward your interests. There is no age restriction on this group, but we do hope/expect members to be mature enough to discuss difficult/strange ideas with an open mind (note I did not say “old enough” – this means any 70-year olds that want to join are expected to be willing and mature enough to have their ideas and biases challenged). What we read: Mostly Science Fiction, with an eye toward themes/genres that include: Dystopia, Artificial Intelligence, Space Opera, Hard Science Fiction, Horror, Post/Apocalyptic, etc... With group consensus we can better define this list. What we do: Read a book in sections (a quarter or so of the book per week, depending on size) and discuss. We'll try to maintain primary focus on the literature itself (always bringing it back to the story and/or the story's universe). If you want to join: Click the “Join Group” button and in answering the question, tell us about yourself! A short paragraph will do. Please include A/S/L as well as a list of 3-4 books you absolutely love. We also encourage you to briefly answer one of the following questions (or make up your own!) to help us to get to know you a little better: 1. What is your favorite book, and why? 2. Name one of the best movies in the world. Now defend your choice. 3. What's the WORST book you've ever read? Details please! 4. Why in the world do you want to join a book club???
