We're meeting on Thursday, July 15 at 20:00 EDT to discuss Afterwar, by @lilithsaintcrow and Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson.

Fellow @TechnicolorRainbow peeps:

If you have thoughts, please share them!
Just watched the first 10 minutes of A Quiet Place Part II and yeah, I'll have to watch the whole thing at some point.
I absolutely loved this story. Totally worth the read.
