Pandemic

[close] Techno-thrillers explore emerging science, technology, or natural phenomena in stories that quicken the pulse. Our current line-up:         The genre tends toward the relatively near-reaching possibilities of sci-fi, and usually includes enough technical detail/explanation to satisfy your inner geek. This is not your classic crime mystery novel. Not a galaxy far, far away. Not a fantasy. Nothing magical. Plausible physics on/near Earth in roughly the near present/future, roughly as we have known it for at least a good part of the book. It can be also be non-fiction, or yes, sometimes it can indeed be rather far-fetched.  

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series (non-fiction books) by James Morcan & Lance Morcan as well as the Underground Knowledge podcast show.

[close] During the school closures, share book ideas with the group. No judgments.

[close] I am hoping to create a bit of distraction and positive use of time by creating a book club with everyone willing to join! I thought of calling the group “Pandemic Book Club” or something along those lines as the current situation with distancing and quarantine fueled the idea… But I can’t do it. I want this to be about cultivating some community engagement in the most introvert way possible, reading! I entered pandemic into thesaurus.com and out spat a list where “cosmopolitan” was listed a few down. Investigating synonyms for this, it states, “cultured, metropolitan, and sophisticated”, so, us in a nutshell.
