Hard Science Fiction

[close] Complimentary to face-to-face group that focuses on deepening our understanding of future trends, positive and negative, fictive or real.

[close] A group for readers who believe the most urgent fiction being written right now is about artificial intelligence. We read techno-thrillers, hard sci-fi, and speculative fiction that takes AI seriously -- not as backdrop, but as the central force reshaping humanity. If you've read Daemon, Blindsight, Klara and the Sun, or The Fifth Paradigm and wanted someone to talk to about it -- this is that place. Monthly reads, author discussions, and the occasional uncomfortable question about what we're actually building.
