Adult Book Discussion: Hum

The Roden branch hosts a Friday morning book discussion on July 31 from 10:30 to 11:30 AM, this time taking on Helen Phillips's *Hum*. The novel follows May, who loses her job to AI in a near-future world and volunteers for an experimental procedure that makes her unrecognizable to surveillance, then takes her family to a rare green refuge where things go wrong. Readers who enjoy speculative fiction about technology, climate change, and family dynamics will find plenty to talk about. Copies are available through the library system; the discussion is free and open to adults.
