What does it take to write a believable kaiju—as well as a charming group of scientists and explorers—onto the page? Join the SciFri Book Club as we welcome John Scalzi, award-winning author of our August 2023 pick, The Kaiju Preservation Society, to discuss world-building on an alternative Earth, combining ecology, biology and cultural touchpoints to create new giants, and how he used a lifetime of scientific curiosity to write a sci-fi romp in five weeks during a global pandemic. --- This is a #SciFriBookClub event, where attendees can hear from experts about a topic related to our Book Club pick. Listeners chat with fellow attendees and ask questions to our guests via chat!
