What does it take to write a believable kaiju—as well as a charming group of scientists and explorers—onto the page? Join the SciFri Book Club as we welcome John Scalzi, award-winning author of our August 2023 pick, The Kaiju Preservation Society, to discuss worldbuilding on an alternative Earth, combining ecology, biology and cultural touchpoints to create new giants, and how he used a lifetime of scientific curiosity to write a sci-fi romp in five weeks during a global pandemic.
Come with your queries and wonderings—we’ll be taking your questions via the livestream comments.
This event is a part of the SciFri Book Club August 2023 pick. Find out more about our book club on this month’s main page.
