Also, this Wednesday, July 31st at 7:00 pm, I will be giving a special Adult Summer Reading Club-themed talk at the Wilmette Public Library on the history of science-fiction movies. The talk will be augmented by clips of classic and important contemporary sci-fi — beginning with George Melies’ 1902 landmark A Trip to the Moon and ending with Jonathan Glazer’s Scarlet Johansson-starring Under the Skin from 2014. If you’re in the greater Chicago area, I hope to see you there! More info can be found on the WPL website here.
