SUMMARY:Michael Lewis in conversation with Dave Eggers
DESCRIPTION:City Arts & Lectures presents: Michael Lewis in conversation with Dave Eggers\nThursday\, May 20\, 2021\n6:00pm Pacific Time\nTICKETS \nThe news out of China was not good: there were signs that a new disease might be big—scary big\, like a brushfire coming at you uphill. Authorities\, medical and political\, saw no reason to worry and little need for tests. Michael Lewis’s new riveting nonfiction thriller\, The Premonition: A Pandemic Story\, pits a rogue band of visionaries\, working under the radar\, against the weight and disinterest of officialdom. It is a race against time\, and the deadline is now…or yesterday. Michael Lewis is the best-selling author of Liar’s Poker\, Moneyball\, The Blind Side\, The Big Short\, and The Undoing Project.

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Martha Wells and Annalee Newitz
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, May 20 at 6pm PT when Martha Wells is joined by Annalee Newitz to discuss Fugitive Telemetry\, the latest in The Murderbot Diaries\, on Zoom!\n\nSigned copies available!\nSpecial Murderbot Diary will be available for the first 20 copies sold!\nBe sure to write “diary!” in your order comment to receive yours.\nWhile supplies last.\n\nZoom Login Info\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/89627822577\n\nPraise for The Murderbot Diaries\n“I love Murderbot!” —Ann Leckie\n\n“The most heartwarming action-packed literally explosive space opera I’ve enjoyed in a long time. Martha Wells is the best writer of loveable snarky gender-subversive killing machines out there!” —N. K. Jemisin\n\n“We are all a little bit Murderbot.”—NPR\n\nAbout Fugitive Telemetry\nThe New York Times bestselling security droid with a heart (though it wouldn’t admit it!) is back!\nHaving captured the hearts of readers across the globe (Annalee Newitz says it’s “one of the most humane portraits of a nonhuman I’ve ever read”) Murderbot has also established Martha Wells as one of the great SF writers of today.\n\nNo\, I didn’t kill the dead human. If I had\, I wouldn’t dump the body in the station mall.\nWhen Murderbot discovers a dead body on Preservation Station\, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was)\, how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward\, at least)\, and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people—who knew?)\n\nYes\, the unthinkable is about to happen: Murderbot must voluntarily speak to humans! Again!
