Please join us for a group discussion of our first reading of the year: Richard Powers' new novel Playground.  We will use this novel as a lens to discuss the roles of technology in society, and the dread, fear, and awe that technology may inspire. Optional but recommended: Watch the film Ex Machina as an interesting juxtaposition. Please join the discussion at the Analog Wine Library - free snacks provided!
