[close] A group for readers who believe the most urgent fiction being written right now is about artificial intelligence. We read techno-thrillers, hard sci-fi, and speculative fiction that takes AI seriously -- not as backdrop, but as the central force reshaping humanity. If you've read Daemon, Blindsight, Klara and the Sun, or The Fifth Paradigm and wanted someone to talk to about it -- this is that place. Monthly reads, author discussions, and the occasional uncomfortable question about what we're actually building.

[close] Techno-thrillers explore emerging science, technology, or natural phenomena in stories with some thrills. 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.
