Adult Book Discussion: The Glass Cage
Join us for an exciting discussion about The Glass Cage by Nicholas Carr.
Even if you haven't read this story or want to share something else you've read, stop in, it's a nice way to meet fellow book lovers and also a way to keep cool in the summer!
From nineteenth-century textile mills to the cockpits of modern jets, from the frozen hunting grounds of Inuit tribes to the sterile landscapes of GPS maps, The Glass Cage explores the impact of automation from a deeply human perspective, examining the personal as well as the economic consequences of our growing dependence on computers.
Next month's book selection is made available after this book discussion.

This event takes place in person.
