We'll be in the basement with tea and biscuits; just bring your ponderings and enjoy a laid-back (and at times profound) chat. We look forward to welcoming you. A bitzesize heavyweight of science fiction, The Employees was Olga Ravn's breathrough work onto the literary scene, and graced the shortlist for the 2021 Intenational Booker Prize. Charting workspace dissatisfaction in deep space and the meaning of humanity, this promises to be a thought-provoking read and a great discussion piece. On the Six-Thousand Ship, things have started to feel changed. Since bringing aboard a number of strange objects from a newly discovered planet, the crew – both human and humanoid – have begun to feel a yearning. They want to be near the objects, to feel them pressed against their skin, but they also all now feel a curious new hunger for home: Earth, that place many cannot even remember.The Board of Directors are eager to understand more, and so instruct a commission to interview each of the employees. Those who are born dream of soil, the smell of warm asphalt, the sound of animals and birds. Those who are made know only what is programmed, and yet feel it deeply, truly. As their testimonies accumulate, a tapestry of longing and quiet rebellion emerges, blurring the lines between work and life, between human and machine.The Employees was the breakout novel from one of the most celebrated authors in world literature, and is now seen as a masterpiece of twenty-first century literary science fiction. In stark, pristine prose, Olga Ravn forms a timeless meditation on productivity, pleasure and what the far-flung future might miss. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/cambridge/november-fiction-book-club-the-employees-by-olga-ravn/100001941304045659 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, health-wellness, meditation - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Cambridge - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Heffers Bookshop - **lat**: 52.20702619999999 - **long**: 0.1183141 - **full address**: Heffers Bookshop, 20 Trinity Street, Cambridge, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: November Fiction Book Club - The Employees by Olga Ravn - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/deca21ad1e27437e918386fe156f90c3096b56f5ea97f1e464036edfe6025306-rimg-w960-h350-dc012d61-gmir.jpg?v=1763388158 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is November Fiction Book Club - The Employees by Olga Ravn being held? - **A:** November Fiction Book Club - The Employees by Olga Ravn takes place on Wed, 26 Nov, 2025 at 05:45 pm to Wed, 26 Nov, 2025 at 06:45 pm at Heffers Bookshop, 20 Trinity Street, Cambridge, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing November Fiction Book Club - The Employees by Olga Ravn? - **A:** November Fiction Book Club - The Employees by Olga Ravn is organized by Heffers Bookshop. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
