SUMMARY:Blade Runner (1982) based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Phillip K. Dick
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?\, Blade Runner is a landmark of science fiction cinema. Set in a rain-soaked\, dystopian future\, the film explores what it means to be human through the pursuit of artificial beings who are nearly indistinguishable from people.

SUMMARY:The Caine Mutiny (1954)   Directed by Edward Dmytryk   (125 minutes)
DESCRIPTION:During World War II\, the crew of a small insignificant ship in the U.S. Pacific Fleet experience an event unlike any event ever experienced by the United States Navy. A ship’s captain is removed from command by his Executive Officer in an apparent outright act of mutiny. As the trial of the mutineers unfold\, it is learned that the captain of the ship was mentally unstable\, perhaps even insane. The Navy must decide if the Caine Mutiny was a criminal act\, or an act of courage to save a ship\nfrom destruction at the hands of her captain? \nStarring Humphrey Bogart\, José Ferrer\, Van Johnson and Fred MacMurray\, this film is based on the book\, The Caine Mutiny\, a 1951 war novel written by Herman Wouk that won the 1952 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. The novel draws on Herman Wouk’s own service on U.S. Navy minesweepers in the Pacific during World War II.

SUMMARY:Socrates Isn’t Dead: A Practical Guide to Thinking Freely   Book by Kaylee Downing
DESCRIPTION:Cleveland-based author Kaylee Downing explores how people form beliefs in modern society and how much of our thinking is shaped by what we’re exposed to rather than what we arrive at independently. Drawing from her book Socrates Isn’t Dead\, she examines how modern discourse influences the way ideas are adopted\, reinforced\, or dismissed. You are invited to step back from the noise to take a closer look at how thinking actually happens and how we can engage more thoughtfully in conversations. Books will be available for sale and signing at the event.
