Sci-Fi Reading Group March Meetup

The Sci-Fi Reading Group will meet Tuesday, March 21st. in the Quiet Reading Room from 7-8:30 pm to discuss Riot Baby by Tochi Onyebuchi.

From Goodreads:

“Ella has a Thing. She sees a classmate grow up to become a caring nurse. A neighbor’s son murdered in a drive-by shooting. Things that haven’t happened yet. Kev, born while Los Angeles burned around them, wants to protect his sister from a power that could destroy her. But when Kev is incarcerated, Ella must decide what it means to watch her brother suffer while holding the ability to wreck cities in her hands.
Rooted in the hope that can live in anger, Riot Baby is as much an intimate family story as a global dystopian narrative. It burns fearlessly toward revolution and has quietly devastating things to say about love, fury, and the black American experience.
Ella and Kev are both shockingly human and immeasurably powerful. Their childhoods are defined and destroyed by racism. Their futures might alter the world.”

The Sci-Fi Reading Group meets the third Tuesday of every month and is open to curious minds of all ages, whether or not they’ve read this month’s selection.
