EDC Book Club: Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson
January 24 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EST
“We’re in a science fiction novel, as a culture. Science fiction is the realism of our time, as I’ve been saying over and over again. It’s the best way to describe the world that we’re in.”
We’re kicking off the EDC Book Club with a discussion of Kim Stanley Robinson’s recent cli-fi novel, Ministry for the Future. Join EDC curators and anthropologists Anand Pandian and Mike Degani to chat about this engrossing book.
