Cyberpunk

[close] monthly meetup for science fiction and fantasy book discussion. We have been meeting at various locations since 2010. We think we have found a home with Comicazi in Somerville. We usually meet on the second Thursday of each month, but there are exceptions to this so be attentive. We select our books on the Meetup.com website as we are a part of the Boston Sci-fi/fantasy Meetup. [close]

[close] Devoted to the discussion of Middle Grade Science Fiction & Fantasy.

[close] There's never a shortage of tragedy in the city that never sleeps. Everyone's got a sob story, and everyone's rearing to tell it. There are those who stay grounded by the world they live in, and there are other who choose to make something of their pathetic lives. Even if that 'something' is a little sinister and more than a little illegal. That's where you come in. With the streets of (Alternate History/Universe) New York controlled by gangs who's power is determined by the depth of their pockets, it's hard to avoid that government's fallen on the back-burner to the newest powers in the area. -- You're just another person living on the streets of New York City, New York. It's up to you what you make of your life, wether you join up with the mafia, become one of the detectives dedicated to rooting out the rebel threat (two references in one sentence, shoosh yeah!), or do something entirely different-- it's all up to you. But in New York, every decision you make has a consequence. OTHER INFO: This RP will begin in 1928, in an Alternate Universe, Alternate History New York. The key elements of the 20's (the mafia, the culture, the fashion, the beginning of the depression) unique will remain in place, but I'm going to allow the addition of things like Steampunk and Cyberpunk. Keep it classy. As far as plot, there's really not a super-strong one, it's kinda open range. But there will be things happening, like in everyday life. The rest will be covered in the introductory post and the rules. [close]

[close] A book club made for an incredibly awesome group of people from an incredibly awesome (and geeky) online community called J!NX. Reading Hi-J!NX is a group for members of the J!NX community, but if any of you J!NXters have friends who want to join in, they are welcome here too! Book choices will be based on all things geeky!
