About Philly Sci-Fi Society

Hi! I’m so glad you found us. I (Katie) started this club after realizing there wasn’t really a sci‑fi–specific book club around here, and it felt like a void that needed to be filled.

We’ve settled into a bit of a groove now though. We usually meet about once a month, give or take a couple of weeks depending on the book, and we meet on weekends. Right now we gather in person at my (Katie's) apartment building. There’s a great community space and a rooftop that’s perfect for our group. But are always open to meeting in public if the space can fit our group size.

I originally started this to gauge interest, and it’s been really nice to see it come together. I’d love for this to stay a flexible monthly thing where we can adjust based on what we’re reading.


Please feel free to share any book recommendations or ideas, always open to making this better as we go.


We also have a Discord for any and all related discussions in-between meetings. Link here: https://discord.gg/7FvXbmvmg
