Science Fiction Book Club: The Mote in God’s Eye @ Humanist Community Gathering

Welcome to our monthly HumanistsMN Science Fiction Book Club! Join us every month -- or come as you are able. (Caveat -- We are not meeting in December.)

Our book for January is “The Mote in God’s Eye” by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. It is a classic story of first contact between humanity and an alien species. The novel delves into themes of communication, ethics, and the consequences of interfering with alien civilizations.

The book discussion will be from 3:00 -- 4:30. Afterwards, gather with other 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.
