About us
Welcome to Geekocracy: the best Meetup group for fun events with your fellow geeks and gamers! The goal of this group is to coordinate fun and inclusive social events — like happy hours, game nights, movie premieres, etc. — to get out from behind our TV screens and make new friends. Geek culture is taking over the world and we're going to be in the middle of it! If anyone has recommendations or would like to help with organizing events, reach out to me or one of our event organizers.

Book Club: "Automatic Noodle"
Doodle Noodle Bar (Fowler USF), 1202 E Fowler Ave, Tampa, FL 33612, USA, Tampa, FL, USWe're reading the cozy near-future sci-fi novella "Automatic Noodle" by Annalee Newitz. Finishing the book is encouraged but not required, as long as you don't mind overhearing spoilers.
Summary: While San Francisco rebuilds from the chaos of war, a group of food service bots in an abandoned ghost kitchen take over their own delivery app account. They rebrand as a neighborhood lunch spot and start producing some of the tastiest hand-pulled noodles in the city. But there’s just one problem. Someone―or something―is review bombing the restaurant’s feedback page with fake “bad service” reports. Can the bots find the culprit before their ratings plummet and destroy everything they created?
**Please update your RSVPs by 6:00 p.m. on the day of the meetup and/or let Lisa know you're not coming! NO-SHOW POLICY ENFORCED**
The venue: We are meeting for noodles (of course) at Doodle Noodle Bar's Fowler/USF location. They have stir fries, soups, vermicelli bowls, dumplings and more. See the menu here.
Where to get it: You can borrow the ebook and audiobook on Libby and/or Hoopla with a library card.
