blackbootz flagamuffin So here we will discuss For a Breath I Tarry.
Let me know what you thought about the time allotted/other aspects of the club. Hopefully everyone got to read it this time.
Discussion Prompts:
Here's some prompts you may respond to if you want. You, of course, don't have to respond to the prompts and can just say whatever is on your mind about the story. However if you're drawing a blank hopefully responding to a prompt will incite some meaningful discussion.
1. Riffing on Genesis is a big thing here. There are lots of parallels and semi-analogous characters. Could you say that the story has some kind of commentary on religion or gnosticism?
2. Relating to the story, do you think a computer/machine could truly experience emotion?
Picking the material for the next installment
So let's include any suggestions for the next material here. Keep in mind that it should be free and/or short. I think for the first few installments we should stick to these requirements pretty strictly, unless there's overwhelming demand for something in particular.
Some suggestions still standing: (I'll update the list as the thread progresses)
Fantastic Planet - a French animated film. It's way out-there and pretty fun. I believe there are multiple sources online for watching it.
Blindsight - Free to download, but not exactly short. An amazing book though and it goes by fast. Very much loaded with material to discuss.
