Book Club: Upgrade Soul
February 5, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FreeFor their 45th anniversary, Hank and Molly Nonnar decide to undergo an experimental rejuvenation procedure, but their hopes for youth are dashed when the couple is faced with the results: severely disfigured yet intellectually and physically superior duplicates of themselves. Can the original Hank and Molly coexist in the same world as their clones? In Upgrade Soul, McDuffie Award–winning creator Ezra Claytan Daniels asks probing questions about what shapes our identity—Is it the capability of our minds or the physicality of our bodies? Is a newer, better version of yourself still you?
Join us for our twice-monthly book club, with tea, treats, and friends. This week, we read Upgrade Soul!!
