SUMMARY:Unreal Reads
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \n\nBrighton Branch of the Boston Public Library\n\n\nJoin us Thursday\, December 4 at 6:30 PM to discuss the sci-fi novella A Psalm for the Wild-built by Becky Chambers. Print copies available at the Brighton Branch front desk while supplies last.\n\n\n*\n\n\nFrom the book description:\n\n\nCenturies before\, robots of Panga gained self-awareness\, laid down their tools\, wandered\, en masse into the wilderness\, never to be seen again. They faded into myth and urban legend.\n\n\nNow the life of the tea monk who tells this story is upended by the arrival of a robot\, there to honor the old promise of checking in.\n\n\nThe robot cannot go back until the question of “what do people need?” is answered. But the answer to that question depends on who you ask\, and how. They will need to ask it a lot. Chambers’ series asks: in a world where people have what they want\, does having more matter?\n\n\n*\n\n\nThe Unreal Reads book club reads fiction of all kinds. We typically meet on the first Thursday of the month\, 6:30 pm at the Brighton Branch\, barring holidays or special events. No registration required\, you’re welcome to drop in. We also welcome readers who decided not to or weren’t able to finish the book — as long as you’re okay with spoilers.\n\n\n#libraries #bookclubs #boston\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
