As a spe cial treat\, the book's translator\,Jodie Beck\, will be joining us for th e discussion!\n\nHybrid Childis a classic of Japanese speculative fiction that blurs the line between consumption and creation when a cyborg assumes the form and spirit of a murdered child\, Jonah. In another thread\, on f araway Planet Caritas\, an outpost of human civilization\, the female AI s ystem that governs society has become insane. Meanwhile\, the threat of th e Adiaptron Empire\, the machine race that #3 was built to fight\, grows s tronger.\n \n This book has a fairy tale-like quality\, and considers the di stance between many dualities: mind and body\, child and mother\, infinite simal and infinite. It promises to be a great discussion! You don't have t o have read the book to come\, but there will be spoilers. On top of that\ , there'll be Japanese refreshments. Hope to see you there!\n\n \n DTSTART:20181115T000000Z DTEND:20181115T020000Z LOCATION:CA\, QC\, Montreal\, Argo Bookshop\, 1915 Sainte-Catherine O.
