Hard Science Fiction

[close] This group is for readers who love science fiction that’s a bit unusual. Stories driven by ingenuity, real science, clever problem solving, or a unique perspective on the universe. Not the usual futuristic battles or galaxy wide wars. If you enjoy books like The Martian, Project Hail Mary, Seveneves, or The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Novels that approach the cosmos with intelligence, humour, or radically different ideas, you’ll feel right at home here. Members are encouraged to suggest sci fi that breaks the mould: near future realism, hard science, strange but plausible worlds, survival challenges, or anything that makes you think “I haven’t read anything quite like this before.” Whether it’s a lone astronaut solving impossible problems, humanity adapting to a radically changed future, or a story that reimagines the universe in a completely unexpected way, bring your favourites and discover new ones.

[close] The Near Future will read and discuss more science-fact based fiction and non-fiction that speculates on the near future of humankind. Old and New works that attempt to keep technological and cultural speculation more grounded in reality but still are thrilling and interesting. We certainly are not looking for dry works, but we will try and steer away from aliens, space operas, wormholes, alternate dimensions etc. The goal is to compile a list of books that are not only enjoyable and exciting read but create a natural discussion about where we are going and the obstacles we might face in The Near Future. We'll see you in the future!
