TO READ FOR NEXT WEEK:
I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison
DISCUSSION OF LAST WEEK'S READING:
Prompts for discussion
Neutron Star: I believe this piece actually fits into one of Larry Niven's larger series. What were people's thoughts on the universe? The inter-character politics? If there's a lot interest in this piece we could explore more from the same setting.
The Machine Stops. From 1909, I think this may actually be the oldest piece we've covered in the club. I was immediately struck by the predicted technology and its implications. In what way were the nuances portrayed accurate in describing the state of the world with technology as we know it today?
