We're excited to announce the launch of our Dystopian Book Club (hosted by Sara)! Join us for drinks, snacks and a conversation where we discuss 1. What were the conditions that led to the dystopian world in the story? 2. What was the technology used in the world of this story? 3. How did humans show resiliency to survive this dystopia? 4. What are the parallels between this world and our current reality?

To join us, please RSVP here.

The September book is Camp Zero by Michelle Min Sterling. You can buy a copy of the book for 10% off at our store, or purchase it online on our bookshop.org page.

In remote northern Canada, a team led by a visionary American architect is breaking ground on a building project called Camp Zero, intended to be the beginning of a new way of life. A clever and determined young woman code-named Rose is offered a chance to join the Blooms, a group hired to entertain the men in camp--but her real mission is to secretly monitor the mercurial architect in charge. In return, she'll receive a home for her climate-displaced Korean immigrant mother and herself.

Rose quickly secures the trust of her target, only to discover that everyone has a hidden agenda, and nothing is as it seems. Through skillfully braided perspectives, including those of a young professor longing to escape his wealthy family and an all-woman military research unit struggling for survival at a climate station, the fate of Camp Zero's inhabitants reaches a stunning crescendo.

Atmospheric, fiercely original, and utterly gripping, Camp Zero is an electrifying page-turner and a masterful exploration of who and what will survive in a warming world, and how falling in love and building community can be the most daring acts of all.
