But first she must become the man she always was – with the help of a sacred anemone. Tentacle is an electric novel with a big appetite and a brave vision\, plunging headfirst into questions of climate change\, technology\, Yoruba ritual\, queer politics\, poverty\, sex\, colonialism and contemporary art. Bursting with punk energy and lyricism\, it’s a restless\, addictive trip: The Tempest meets the telenovela. \nThe Sci-Fi Reading Group meets the third Monday of every month and is open to curious minds\, whether or not they’ve read this month’s selection.

First\, dive into a 45-minute excerpt of the highly acclaimed 2023 documentary Join or Die by Pete and Rebecca Davis. Join or Die is a film about why you should join a club—and why the fate of America depends on it. Joined by Hillary Clinton\, Priya Parker\, and others\, Robert Putnam\, author of Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community\, will explore three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And\, most importantly… What can we do about it? \nFollowing the screening\, join us for a social hour to practice what we’ve learned. Whether you’re passionate about your favorite pastime and want to connect with others or just looking to meet new people in your community\, we’ll have prompts and icebreakers to help spark authentic connections. \nThis event is part of a series of Join or Die screenings and community-building mixers throughout Vermont this winter. \nRegistration is required. More information can be found on VP’s website\, HERE.
