Science Fiction Book Club: “Blindsight” by Peter Watts @ SECULAR SATURDAY

Welcome to our monthly HumanistsMN Science Fiction Book Club! Join us every month -- or come as you are able.

Our June book selection is “Blindsight” by Peter Watts. A crew of misfits is sent to check on an alien probe to see if the aliens have good intentions --or something worse. The novel explores themes of identity, consciousness, free will, artificial intelligence, neurology, game theory, evolution, and biology.

The book discussion will be from 3:00 -- 4:30. Afterwards, join other Secular Saturday session attendees in the gallery for refreshments and socializing.

Our book club facilitator is Scott Lohman, a long-time activist with HumanistsMN, serving as president, vice-president, and board member at various times. He is a life-long science fiction reader and chairs a small local sci-fi con held annually in the summer.

This event is sponsored by HumanistsMN. If you are not yet a member, please consider joining to help us cover our costs and build the humanist movement. Not ready to join? Donations are gratefully accepted! Join or donate at humanistsmn.org.
