📚✨ Join us for our March Lisbon Book Club meetup on March 21st, 2026 at 17h (5pm), where we’ll dive into Adrian Tchaikovsky’s epic science fiction masterpiece Children of Time.

Spanning thousands of years and galaxies, this ambitious novel follows the rise of a new civilization on a terraformed planet—where evolution takes an unexpected turn. As humanity struggles to survive among the stars, Tchaikovsky weaves a story of survival, adaptation, and what it truly means to be intelligent. 🚀📖

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Together we’ll explore themes of evolution, morality, survival, and the fragile place of humanity in the cosmos. Expect a discussion that’s both mind-bending and deeply philosophical, perfect for fans of big ideas and expansive storytelling. 🌌✨

📚 Whether you’re a longtime sci-fi enthusiast or venturing into the genre for the first time, Children of Time promises to challenge your imagination and spark unforgettable conversation.

📆 Grab your copy, meet us on March 21st @ 17h, and let’s journey through this extraordinary tale together! 🌍🚀

📚 Book Club Prep:
Whether you’re an ear reader (audiobooks 🎧), an eye reader (e-reader, phone, or digital copy 📱), or you love the feel of a physical book 📖—you’re welcome here!

*We encourage you to support local bookstores and libraries when possible. And don’t forget: someone in the group often has a physical copy they’re happy to lend once they’ve finished—so check in the WhatsApp group if you’re in need!

Agenda:
🕰️ Arrive a few minutes early to grab a coffee or snack from one of the many cafes and restaurants nearby (if budget and dietary restrictions allow).

📖 Book Discussion: Share your emotions, thoughts, and reflections on the story. SPOILERS WILL OCCUR—if you haven’t finished, no worries, just a heads-up!

🔄 Regroup to exchange key takeaways and insights from each group.
