“The People’s Library by Veronica Henry is a dazzling extrapolation, a brilliant riff on who we’ve been and who we mean to be. In a post-AI future with Universal Basic Income and marvelous tech, all should be well. Yet book libraries are being abandoned, and there’s an undertow of discontent, resistance to the official narrative. Indeed, even murder afoot! Who doesn’t love a hero librarian risking her life to save books, and also humanity, of course. The People’s Library is a book for right now and tomorrow!” —Andrea Hairston, award winning author of Archangels of Funk
