Sactown Sci-Fi Book Club

6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Virtual
Join the Sactown Sci-Fi crew as we discuss Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel on Wednesday April 12th at 6:00 p.m. (PT). 

Seventeen years ago: a girl in South Dakota falls through the earth, then wakes up dozens of feet below ground on the palm of what seems to be a giant metal hand. Today: she is a top-level physicist leading a team of people to understand exactly what that hand is, where it came from, and what it portends for humanity. A swift and spellbinding tale told almost exclusively through transcriptions of interviews conducted by a mysterious and unnamed character, this is a unique debut that describes a hunt for truth, power, and giant body parts.
