Embassytown @SCI-FI Reading Group
Details
For people who enjoy reading science fiction and tech-focused fiction.
Timothy will facilitate this discussion about science-fiction in general and the monthly novel in particular.
Embassytown (2011) is a novel by British science fiction author China Miéville. Set in a human colonial community called Embassytown on a distant planet called Arieka, it concerns the human colonists’ interaction with mysterious beings called the Ariekei. Most of the story centers on the central figure Avice Benner Cho, a native of the settlement, which is bordered on all sides by the Ariekei city. Though both species try to preserve peace, they inevitably experience cultural loss as integration forms fractures and erasures in two initially distinct groups and their languages.

Venue is MK Cafe, corner of Sydney St & Brunswich St, across from New Farm park. Please support the cafe by purchasing its drink and food for the use of its tables.
