VAP November Book Club - The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells

Open to the public. Discussion centers around polyamory and LGBTQ+ topics. Note: Virginia Polyamory will no longer be using Eventbrite starting in 2027. Our new platform, Revel, will host our events. You may join by following this link. Join VA Polyamory [VAP] for afternoon tea, snacks, and chatting about books. This book club is a public event hosted at a public library. Even if you are not a member of VAP, you are welcome to attend. The book for November is All Systems Red, book 1 of The Muderbot Diaries by Martha Wells The novellas are short, often quick reads. We will plan to start with only book 1 (All Systems Red) but will adapt to match if everyone reads further in the series. blurb: "On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid — a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is. But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth." If you haven't finished the book or don't even want to read it, but you still want to attend the event, you are absolutely welcome. Feel free to bring a snack to share!
