June Sci-Fi Reading Group Meetup

The Sci-Fi Reading Group will meet Tuesday, June 20th, in the Quiet Reading Room from 7-8:30 pm to discuss In the Watchful City by S. Qiouyi Lu.

From Goodreads:

“The city of Ora uses a complex living network called the Gleaming to surveil its inhabitants and maintain harmony. Anima is one of the cloistered extrasensory humans tasked with watching over Ora’s citizens. Although ær world is restricted to what æ can see and experience through the Gleaming, Anima takes pride and comfort in keeping Ora safe from all harm.

All that changes when a mysterious visitor enters the city carrying a cabinet of curiosities from around the world, with a story attached to each item. As Anima’s world expands beyond the borders of Ora to places—and possibilities—æ never before imagined to exist, æ finds ærself asking a question that throws into doubt ær entire purpose: What good is a city if it can’t protect its people?

The Sci-Fi Reading Group meets the third Tuesday of every month and is open to curious minds of all ages, whether or not they’ve read this month’s selection.
