So here we will discuss Blindsight

So here it is. It's the longest work/reading period we've had for this club so far, so hopefully you guys still remember this thing exists

Discussion Prompts:

Blindisght covers a lot of topical ground, so there's a lot of room for discussion. I'm only going to list a couple prompts here, but please open the discussion to any topics you feel may be interesting.

1. What exactly was Siri's true role in the mission? Has he succeeded in whatever his intended purpose was? Are his judgements and reports trustworthy?

2. One of the themes that gets mentioned, but not directly discussed so much is religion/religious symbolism. The theme comes up quite frequently in fact. What do you make of this?

3. Why do you love/hate this book, and what is it about it that makes you love/hate it so much?
