Adult Book Discussion: Hum

The Roden branch hosts a discussion of Helen Phillips' *Hum*, a near-future novel where climate change is advanced and intelligent robots called "hums" are routine. The story follows May, who loses her job to AI and undergoes an experimental facial alteration to evade surveillance, then takes her family to a rare green refuge — a botanical garden — where her children come under threat. The conversation takes place Tuesday, July 28, from 6:30 to 7:30 PM. Accessibility requests require 14 business days' notice.
