The SciFri Book Club Introduces Dune
17:21 minutes
After a hiatus, the SciFri Book Club is back! The concept is simple: Read a great science or sci-fi book, and discuss it with authors, scientists, and your fellow SciFri listeners on-air and online. This summer, we’re reading Frank Herbert’s ecological epic Dune. Join sci-fi author Kim Stanley Robinson and astrobiologist and theoretical physicist Sara Imari Walker as they help kick off the club with an introduction to Herbert’s “Duniverse.” And keep up with Book Club happenings here.
And the first 20 people with U.S. mailing addresses who complete this form below will get a copy of the book, courtesy of Powell’s Books!
