SUMMARY:Reading Science Fiction Politically - Midterms Edition
DESCRIPTION:Next on June 29\, 5-6:30 pm ET \nReading Science Fiction Politically\, Midterms edition explores climate crisis\, artificial intelligence in politics\, a reawakened Klan\, and more by way of four recent novels and selected short stories. \nHave  you noticed that\, as contemporary politics veers into the fantastical\, more writers have embraced the fantastical\, speculative\, visionary\, horror to explore politics realistically? If that contradiction intrigues you\, we welcome you to our twice-a-month reading group. \nJump in any time to sample the best of socially-conscious and political literature traditionally called science fiction. We read it to get ready for this year’s elections\, envision the futures we seek and empower our commitments\, enliven our reflection\, and energize our communities. \nWe have chosen for this summer and fall\, \n\nThe Terraformers\, Annalee Newitz\nInfomocracy\, Malka Ann Older\nForfeiture\, JP Nebra\nRing Shout\, by P. Djèlí Clark\nWe Will Rise Again: Speculative Stories and Essays on Protest\, Resistance\, and Hope\, edited by Malka Older\, Annalee Newitz and Karen Lord (continuing to read from this new anthology.

SUMMARY:Muskism\, Global Trends\, and Political Strategy Today
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays\, 7-9 pm ET Beginning June 30\n \nThis summer\, read Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed with the Strategic Studies reading group. Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff offer us much more than an assessment of the person of Musk. And they assess his business ventures and forays into government and politics only to go further. They invite us to consider what the new technology- and artificial intelligence-driven industries and the growing concentration of wealth and power mean for capitalism\, for the world’s peoples\, and for political struggles ahead. \nTo aid in this discussion\, we will make available important published and not-yet published texts from wide sources\, ranging from Pope Leo’s Encyclical including on Artificial Intelligence all the way to strategies around “Third Reconstruction.” Participants have access to our community chat and our regularly updated study guide. \nWe study together to understand the wave of reaction which once again has washed over politics\, its reflection in both long historical currents and fast-changing global trends\, and ways to think strategically about advancing in new directions for the socialist left.
