SUMMARY:The Man Who Fell To Earth - Walter Tevis ***BOWIE NIGHT*** Final Mi
 ndFuck Event
DESCRIPTION:\n\nOur last 2016 MINDFUCK event couldn't end on a more poignan
 t note. What better finish could we have than the work immortalised in fil
 m by the incomparable David Bowie\, in Walter Tevis's gentle SF tale chron
 icling the seduction of innocence in "The Man Who Fell To Earth".\n\nThoma
 s Jerome Newton is an extraterrestrial from the planet Anthea\, which has 
 been devastated by a series of nuclear wars\, and whose inhabitants are tw
 ice as intelligent as human beings. When he lands on Earth - in Kentucky\,
  disguised as a human - it`s with the intention of saving his own people f
 rom extinction. Newton patents some very advanced Anthean technology\, whi
 ch he uses to amass a fortune. He begins to build a spaceship to help the 
 last 300 Antheans migrate to Earth. Meanwhile\, Nathan Bryce\, a chemistry
  professor in Iowa\, is intrigued by some of the new products Newton`s com
 pany brings to the market\, and already suspects Newton of being an alien.
  As Bryce and the FBI close in\, Newton finds his own clarity and sense of
  purpose diminishing.\n\n\n\n\n\nWe'll be rounding off our last MindFuck e
 vent with a book discussion followed by face-painting and Bowie inspired s
 henanigans.\n\n
