          <p>
Physicist Alan Sokal decided to show how lacking in critical thinking
and basic scientific literacy some left wing social science
postmodernist thinkers can be. He sent a completely jargon-laden,
content-void article to the journal Social Text to see if it would be
published -- it was.

          <p>
In an era when life expectancies stretch<br />
100 years or more and adhering to healthy habits is the only way to<br />
earn better medical treatments, ancient &quot;post humans&quot; dominate society<br />
with their ubiquitous wealth and power. By embracing the safe and<br />
secure, 94-year-old Mia Ziemann has lived a long and quiet life. Too<br />
quiet, as she comes to realize, for Mia has lost the creative drive<br />
and ability to love -- the holy fire -- of the young. But when a<br />
radical new procedure makes Mia young again, she has the chance to<br />
break free of society's cloying grasp.
</p>
<p>
The book club meets every last Thursday of the month.
</p>
<p>
Your coordinator is Elze Hamilton.
