Tog Science Fiction Bookclub

For November, our book club is diving into Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Word for World Is Forest — a powerful and thought-provoking novella set on the lush planet of Athshe, where human colonists exploit both the land and its peaceful inhabitants.
First published in 1972 as part of Le Guin’s Hainish Cycle, this short book packs a punch — exploring themes of colonialism, ecology, resistance, and the clash between vastly different ways of life. It’s a story that still feels deeply relevant today.
We’ll be meeting to discuss it on:
📅 Tuesday, 18th November 2025
🕢 7:30 pm
📍 Tog Hackerspace, Dublin 12
As always, you don’t need to have finished the book to join in — come along for the chat, share your thoughts, and enjoy the company of fellow readers. New members are always welcome!
