Future

[close] For readers and authors interested in the very best other-worldly, transported to incredible stories that keep us up at night and constantly coming back for more.

[close] The only way to know the future is by being aware of the past, the present, and its trends. Since we know we can't see the future, at least we can guess and narrow down our forecasts - but to do that, we need knowledge. We create this reading group to fill the gap between where we are now and the times to come. We aim to get a broader perspective, a bigger picture, a bird's view. A reading group focused on utopias and dystopias that make us think, books and essays that put us aware of our environment, futuristic innovations, and tales from the past, that teach us how and why the things we have today are like they are, and maybe help us to know how to change them. The group proposes to read around one book or essay (article, interview) per month, ~12 books in total. Books about finance, history, political and philosophical questions. Books about happiness and how to live a better life. Are these the tools to survive in this information society? We think so, if you don't agree, join the reading club and prove us wrong! Welcome to the future! FRC

[close] NOMINATIONS ARE CLOSED. THANKS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED!! We're a group building a reliable bookshelf-database of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror books that do NOT mention sexual violence or dubious sexual consent. We're inspired by Sarah Gailey's essay urging authors to "Do Better" https://www.tor.com/2016/08/22/do-better-sexual-violence-in-sff/ Join our long term project by sharing your recent reads in our monthly chat. Once a month we update the bookshelf database but recommendations are welcome everyday of the year!
