Adult Book Discussion: Hum

The monthly library book club at Chicago Lawn discusses *Hum* by Helen Phillips, a novel set in a near-future where climate change has altered the world and AI-driven robots—“hums”—are a fact of life. In the story, a mother loses her job to artificial intelligence and agrees to an experimental procedure that makes her face unidentifiable by surveillance, then takes her family to a rare green refuge. The discussion is Tuesday, September 22, from 6 to 7 PM, and copies are available at the circulation desk.
