About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

Welcome to the next chapter of our Social Book Club at DFW Young & Social! This session, we dive into the captivating world of "Exhalation" by Ted Chiang, an anthology of short stories that explore the boundaries of technology, humanity, and the universe itself.

In "Exhalation," Chiang presents thought-provoking narratives that challenge our perceptions of existence and identity. Each story is a meticulously crafted exploration of philosophical questions, wrapped in the engaging format of science fiction. Join us as we discuss these compelling tales, unraveling themes of free will, memory, and the essence of change.

Schedule:

  • 7:00 to 7:15 PM - Arrive, socialize, and get comfortable.
  • 7:15 to 7:30 PM - Quick recap of our last discussion.
  • 7:30 to 8:30 PM - Deep dive into conversation over the stories “Darcey’s Patent Automatic Nanny”, “The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling”, and “The Great Silence”.

The DFW Young & Social Book Club is a haven for book enthusiasts of all sorts, always open for new members to jump in. No matter where we are in the book, you're welcome to join and add your voice to our lively discussions. Whether you're turning the first page or eagerly awaiting the next chapter, come and be part of a group that celebrates the wonder of reading. Bring your thoughts and let's revel in the shared experience of a good book.
