In November, we invite you to read short stories, "They're Made out of Meat" (5 pages) by Terry Bisson, "The Pedestrian" (3 pages) by Ray Bradbury and "All You Zombies" (13 pages) by Robert Heinlein.
They're Made Out of Meat
Aliens study a new planet and make a shocking discovery about its inhabitants.
The Pedestrian
Leonard Mead enjoys an evening walk in 2053, in a time where this action is peculiar, where everyone else is inside watching TV. This short story is a precursor to Bradbury's later novel, Farenheit 451.
All You Zombies
A purported time traveler tells a bartender of his travels. This story was made into a movie called Predestination starring Ethan Hawke.
