The January ExtroBritannia lunch/get-together is scheduled for
Saturday the 24th of November at 12 noon in central London.
The theme of this month's get-together is "Cyborg/Fyborg":
approaches and attitudes towards today's and tomorrow's
electronic enhancements to the human body and mind.
ExtroBritannia's own fyborg, Alex, will demonstrate his new toys...
As usual, in order to achieve a better exchange of ideas, the
discussion will be among smallish, semi-moderated sub-groups, as our
experience is that it is virtually impossible to have a meaningful
conversation in groups of more than 4-5 people.
WHERE & WHEN******************************************
If you want to attend, you have three choices:
1) you can show up at the basement café of Europe's largest
bookshop (Waterstone's in Piccadilly, London) at 12,00
2) you can go directly to the restaurant for lunch ("Chowki", 1,00
o'clock). The table will be booked under my name (Fabio).
3) you can join us back at Waterstone's for coffee/drinks and
further discussion at about 2,30/3,00 pm (either in the basement cafè or
restaurant).
If it's your first time at an ExtroBritannia meeting I'll be the guy
clearly displaying a copy of Kurzweil's "The Age of Spiritual
Machines" on the table we'll be sitting at.

WATERSTONE'S
