For our next Tog Science Fiction Book Club, we’ll be reading *Camp Concentration* by Thomas M. Disch. First published in 1968, this dark and thought-provoking novel blends science fiction, politics, and satire. Set in a dystopian future, it explores imprisonment, intelligence, power, and the cost of human progress. It should give us plenty to chat about on the night. We’ll be meeting **in person** at **Tog Hackerspace** on **Tuesday, 28th of April at 7:30 pm**. Whether you’ve read the whole book, only started it, or just want to listen in, you’re very welcome to join us. Our book club is always open to new people, and it’s a great way to discover new science fiction and meet fellow readers. **Book:** *Camp Concentration* by Thomas M. Disch **Date:** Tuesday, 28th April **Time:** 7:30 pm **Location:** Tog Hackerspace Come along for sci-fi, discussion, and good company.

Directed by the renown Soviet film maker Mikhail Kalatozov, who’d won the Palme D’Or for *The Cranes Are Flying* in 1958, ***I Am Cuba*** (1964) is a window on to Cuba that looks like an art house film but feels like a documentary. The result is a fascinating snap shot in time of an island at a pivotal moment in its history.
