7:00 PM - 8:30 PM in the Community Room 

Join author Fred Burton in a discussion of his book, Man Made, a near-future portrayal that is eerily familiar. In his book, the AI, social media, and surveillance tools are more advanced, and the populace more dispirited, with cyborg intelligence at the forefront. We have entered an age where many of us feel there is no center and no agreed upon sources of truth. We are creeping, or lunging, towards authoritarianism. Man Made provides answers that sometimes conflict, but deserve to be discussed and challenged.
