Description

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a world where people constantly shared and consumed video content, for an unknown real larger purpose? Hmmmm… Well EM Forster imagined this world, in 1909.





Join me for the restart of the Five Minute Book Review series on the banks of the White River in Vermont for a discussion of one of the most creative, reflective, and weirdly forward thinking sci-fi short stories I’ve ever read.





It’s a 45 minute read that will touch on technology, philosophy, human connection, freedom and agency, climate, governance, travel, and so much more. Surely worth a read!
