A book club meeting for A Scanner Darkly, open to all who can admit their dorkdom, focusing on speculative fiction and deep space adventures.
Ludicrous Speed Book Club is meeting at Bookpeople on Monday, August 17, at 7 PM to talk about A Scanner Darkly. It's a Philip K. Dick classic, so if you've already read it, you know exactly the kind of ground they'll be covering.
The club describes itself as open to anyone who can admit their dorkdom, and that's a good way to set the tone. It's not a formal literary circle; it's a gathering of people who like to get deep into the books they're reading. The group draws from speculative fiction, deep space adventures, alternate histories, and epic fantasy realms, so A Scanner Darkly—with its drug-fueled paranoia and blurring lines between identity and surveillance—fits right into that wheelhouse.
