Community RoomStep into the unknown — join our speculative fiction book club for bold ideas, wild worlds, and unforgettable journeys! This month's title is "The People's Library" by Veronica G. Henry.
This is a group for speculative fiction fans (science fiction/fantasy) who like to read and discuss genre literature. Each month, we'll have a discussion about a book, either a new release or an older book (but ideally something that most people haven't read yet), that we've read before meeting.
"The People's Library" by Veronica G. Henry
"Echo London never asked to guard humanity’s greatest secret—the People’s Library, a digital archive of captured consciousness where visitors speak with the dead. But when rebels strike and a masked woman whispers, It all begins with nothing, Echo realizes her role is more than curating history. As uprisings grow and reality blurs, she must uncover the truth behind the Library—before its promise becomes humanity’s undoing." - NoveList Plus.
