Tūranga - Literature Live
Event description
Literature Live is a monthly LARP/interactive book club where you join a cast of characters for live action role play, hosted in partnership with NZLARPS. Costumes encouraged!
This month's game: Juggernaut draws from speculative science fiction, such as the works of Ted Chiang.
It is July third, 1950. The Korean War is eight days old. National Security Council Report 68 is sitting on Harry Truman’s desk, a grim outline of the Cold War that is to enfold the world for the next 40 years. Alan Turing’s paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” is circulating for review. Cinderella is a box office sensation.
And you have invented a computer that can see the future.
