Cambridge University Science Fiction Society

The Cambridge University Science Fiction Society (CUSFS) is a society at the University of Cambridge for discussing science fiction and fantasy literature.[1] It is perhaps best known as a probable origin of "The Game", a mental game where the objective is to avoid thinking about the game itself.[2] The society also owns one of the largest dedicated science fiction and fantasy borrowing libraries in the UK, at over five thousand books.[3]

Past members have included Alexander Guttenplan, who is a former Chairbeing (President) of the society.[4]
