In-Person Book Group Meeting
Monday, March 17 | 7:00-9:00 p.m. | Berkeley
FEATURING: ORBITAL, a novel by Samantha Harvey
We follow one day in the lives of six people working on a space station above Earth....It's a quiet meditation on what it means to be human.
-The New York Times Book Review Club
It's harder to see the world's problems from 250 miles up....The book is ravishingly beautiful. It is also nearly free of plot. No alien race invades. No sentient planet turns people mad. The technology behaves.
-The New York Times review
The fragility of human life fills their conversations, their fears, their dreams. So far from earth, they have never felt more part -- or protective -- of it.
-The Booker Prize 2024 citation
