Join us for a lively, stimulating, and often deep discussion with some really interesting people! Although we’ve been discussing articles the last few months, this month we will change back to discussing a book – because Bill McKibben’s latest book just came out: “Falter: Has the Human Game Began to Play Itself Out?” (For those who don’t know, Bill McKibben is the founder of 350.org. If you want to get a copy, you have just over a week left to read it. If you’re not up to reading it, you can check out various review online, including the one in the NY Times Review of Books:
Of course, you can come without doing any of this reading just to enjoy the discussion. I will summarize the main arguments in the book for everyone.
