As always, all times SLT, and events are held at the Library’s home in Nowhereville, unless otherwise indicated. Note that the schedule below may be subject to change during the week, please refer to the Seanchai Library website for the latest information through the week.
Monday, November 14th, 19:00: Reality Check

Contemplates the eventual difficulty of discerning reality as a simulation versus reality as natural phenomena that is so well understood that it could just as well be a simulation. Publication in a serious scientific journal, notwithstanding, the prose is thought provoking.
