BookTalk: "The Strength of the Few" @ one-north
Details
Bring your copy of the book--
"The Strength of the Few" by James Islington
--and let's have a drink, grab a bite and chat! :)
BYO Questions! You don't have to finish the book as long as you don't mind spoilers! That said, do read as much as you can; it won't be fun if you can't participate...
Discussion Format:
- Intro / Quiet Reading (first 30min)
- Where are we in the book?
- "Omne Trium Perfectum": Multi-POV and Split Realities
- Decisions and leadership
- Morality, Complicity, Survival
- How context affects values / morality and personal identity
- Fate vs Free will
- Your Annotations and Highlights
- viz The Will of the Many (prequel), Babel (and "the necessity of violence")
- Open discussion
- Gossip, e.g. the author's next work(s)
Discussion etiquette:
Be respectful. Don't hog the mic. Be open to different views. Pretty basic. We'll give you a grade at the end of the session. (Just kidding.)
This is a limited seats, small group event, so do try to update your RSVP early if your plans change! Thanks in advance
