Space Cadets: Sci-Fi Book Club is a club where we read a wide array of science fiction books and discuss them. This group meets on the first Sunday of the month at 3pm at Beer Is Good Brewing Co.
You do not have to buy the book through The Lore to participate (but it's extra awesome if you do!), you can just join us for the discussion!
You don't not have to have finished the book, though we will discuss the end of the book.
You do not have to come to every meeting (dip in and out of different book clubs, come see us once and then not again for six months, do whatever works for you)
The book for January 4, 2026 is The Murderbot Diaries
Vol 1: All Systems Red, Artificial Club Condition by Martha Wells
Description:
In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety.
But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern.
On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid―a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is.
But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.
