- **Event Description**: A book club to scratch that sweet spot inside your headAbout this EventJ.G. Ballard's mesmerizing and ferociously prescient novel imagines a terrifying future in which solar radiation and global warming have melted the polar ice caps and Triassic-era jungles have overrun a submerged and tropical London. Set during the year 2145, the novel follows biologist Dr. Robert Kerans and his team of scientists as they confront a surreal cityscape populated by giant iguanas, albino alligators, and endless swarms of malarial insects. Nature has swallowed all but a few remnants of human civilization, and, slowly, Kerans and his companions are transformed—both physically and psychologically—by this prehistoric environment. A thrilling adventure and a haunting examination of the effects of environmental collapse on the human mind.Available from all good libraries and book shops.You don't have to have read it to join us - but it'll probably help.We will be meeting in The Ludski Bar in the Rio Cinema.https://www.riocinema.org.uk/your-visit/You are welcome to bring outside food in with you but please buy your drinks from inside the cinema.
