Dystopia Book Club
Location:
Zoom
Books of dystopia are meant to warn us of a distant future that can (and sometimes does) occur. This book club’s aim is to read dystopian books and discuss their parallels with contemporary times.
The Dystopia Book Club meets online via the Zoom platform on the third Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m.
Book Club Liaison: Abby Williams
