The Sci-Fi Reading Group will meet Monday, June 17th, in the Quiet Reading Room from 7-8:30 pm to discuss Remote Control by Nnedi Okorafor.
“The day Fatima forgot her name, Death paid a visit. From hereon in she would be known as Sankofa–a name that meant nothing to anyone but her, the only tie to her family and her past. Her touch is death, and with a glance a town can fall. And she walks–alone, except for her fox companion–searching for the object that came from the sky and gave itself to her when the meteors fell and when she was yet unchanged; searching for answers. But is there a greater purpose for Sankofa, now that Death is her constant companion?”
The Sci-Fi Reading Group meets the third Monday of every month and is open to curious minds of all ages, whether or not they’ve read this month’s selection.

Elite New York drag queens Vida and Noxeema, have just won a trip to Hollywood and the national finals of a drag contest. They decide to take newcomer Chi-Chi along for the ride and set out across the country in a giant yellow Cadillac that’s all style and no horsepower. When the car dies, stranding them in the small town where they have to wait for the right parts to fix it, they find themselves entering the somewhat troubled lives of the townsfolk. With the Strawberry Festival coming up and an irate local sheriff on their heels, can they bring a bit of fabulous to this tired old town?

But she’s trapped in Mexico City, enduring the drudgery of an unkind metropolis, working as a rent-a-friend, selling her blood to old folks with money who hope to rejuvenate themselves with it, enacting a fractured love story. And yet there’s Mars, at the edge of the silver screen, of life. It awaits her.”
