Space Cadets: Sci-Fi Book Club is a club where we read a wide array of science fiction books and discuss them. This group meets on the first Sunday of the month at 3pm at Beer Is Good Brewing Co.
You do not have to buy the book through The Lore to participate (but it's extra awesome if you do!), you can just join us for the discussion!
You don't not have to have finished the book, though we will discuss the end of the book.
You do not have to come to every meeting (dip in and out of different book clubs, come see us once and then not again for six months, do whatever works for you)
The book for June 7, 2026 is Mountain in the Sea by Ray
Nayler.
Description:
Humankind discovers intelligent life in an octopus species with its own language and culture, and sets off a high-stakes global competition to dominate the future.
The transnational tech corporation DIANIMA has sealed off the remote Con Dao Archipelago, where a species of octopus has been discovered that may have developed its own language and culture. The marine biologist Dr. Ha Nguyen, who has spent her life researching cephalopod intelligence, will do anything for the chance to study them. She travels to the islands to join DIANIMA’s team: a battle-scarred securityagent and the world’s first (and possibly last) android.
The octopuses hold the key to unprecedented breakthroughs in extrahuman intelligence. As Dr. Nguyen struggles to communicate with the newly discovered species, forces larger than DIANIMA close in to seize the octopuses for themselves.
But no one has yet asked the octopuses what they think. Or what they might do about it.
A near-future thriller, a meditation on the nature of consciousness, and an eco-logical call to arms, Ray Nayler’s dazzling literary debut The Mountain in the Sea is a mind-blowing dive into the treasure and wreckage of humankind’s legacy.
