What we’re about
Welcome to Geekocracy: the best Meetup group for fun events with your fellow geeks and gamers! The goal of this group is to coordinate fun and inclusive social events — like happy hours, game nights, movie premieres, etc. — to get out from behind our TV screens and make new friends. Geek culture is taking over the world and we're going to be in the middle of it! If anyone has recommendations or would like to help with organizing events, reach out to me or one of our event organizers.

Book Club: "The Last Murder at the End of the World"
La Teresita , 3246 W. Columbus Drive Tampa, FL 33607, Tampa, FL, USSummary: Outside the island there is nothing: the world was destroyed by a fog that swept the planet, killing anyone it touched. But on the island, it is idyllic.
Until, to the horror of the islanders, one of their three beloved scientists is found brutally stabbed to death. And then they learn that the murder has triggered a lowering of the security system around the island, the only thing that was keeping the fog at bay. If the murder isn't solved within 107 hours, the fog will smother the island—and everyone on it.
But the security system has also wiped everyone's memories of exactly what happened the night before, which means that someone on the island is a murderer—and they don't even know it.
The venue: We are meeting for food at La Teresita in Tampa, a staple for Cuban food. Please have your RSVP up to date ahead of the event. No no-shows!
Where to get it: You can borrow the ebook and audiobook with a library card through Hoopla, Overdrive or Libby or download the Kindle file here.
