Book Club no. 34: The Odyssey

For our next book club, we’ll travel back in time two millenia to the world of The Odyssey, where the heroes are great and the egos are…fragile

On 28 August at 20h, we are excited to host our first ever History of Wine Tasting, where we learn by drinking, and drink while learning.

For our next book club, we are excited to announce that we will be covering There Is No Antimemetics Division, a novel that asks serious questions about memory and the way we share information, but it is so action-packed that you might develop whiplash while trying to answer them. You are probably familiar with memes, but their opposite, or “antimemes,” are ideas that are literally unthinkable: impossible to record and impossible to remember. The idea that we could be visited by aliens is enthralling; the idea that they already live among us, eating our memories so that we can’t remember them, is psychologically terrifying. It is this concept which gives the dazzling debut novel by Sam Hughes its oomph. Have we piqued your interest? Join either! Due to demand, we’ll be holding two book clubs for the novel, one on Thursday, August 20th, and one on Friday, the 21st. <br />
