We started the new year with some short adventures in science fiction. The RiAus Book Club met to discuss and unravel the questions thrown up by some classic short stories:

• Nightfall by Isaac Asimov (1941): the story of the sudden coming of darkness to a world which never experiences sunset.
• The 9 Billion Names of God by Arthur C Clarke (1953): what happens when a computer company sells a program to Tibetan monks so they can uncover the true name of God and complete their destiny?
• I, Robot by Cory Doctorow (2005): what happens when only one company is allowed to make robots, and only one type of robot is allowed?

RiAus hosts a bi-monthly Book Club for those keen to explore, rediscover and get excited about science-themed books, new and old. Join us for upcoming events if you have a passion for stories with a scientific twist.
