ABOUT US
The Economics Sci-Fi Book Club started off with Matt Clancy bringing together a group of like-minded people on Twitter to chat in about books. We’re a group of people interested in economics (many practicing economists), who enjoy reading sci-fi books and thinking about the economics issues they raise.
We meet up on-line twice a year – once in the Summer and once in Winter, typically around Northern Hemisphere university break times – to discuss a book that we've voted on as a group. Choices so far have been:
· Vernor Vinge, A Deepness in the Sky (July 2021)
· Neal Stephenson, Termination Shock (July 2022)
· Ursula Le Guin, The Dispossessed (Dec 2022)
· Liu Cixin, The Three Body Problem (July 2023)
. Robert Heinlein, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (Dec 2023)
. Adrian Tchaikovsky, Children of Time (June 2024)
You can still find some of us at least on Twitter, at the EconTwitter Sci-Fi Book Club community.
We’d love to have more people join in our book clubs. If you’re interested in being on our mailing list (which has only a few emails per year), please sign up!
