About

Our next book club pick recently won Goodreads’ choice award for best Sci-Fi book of 2025 and was listed as one of the best books of the year in NPR and the New Yorker! **The Compound** **by Aisling Rawle** is described as a mix of Love Island and Black Mirror. This story follows Lily as she competes in a wildly popular reality tv show where the contestants complete challenges to win luxury prizes. However, as the games go on, they begin to take on a more dangerous tone…This book is a criticism of reality tv, social norms, and consumerism. Can’t wait to see you there! **Note from the organizer**: I don’t want to pay $30 a month for MeetUp+ which means the events only allow registration of 10 people. However, if you are waitlisted, please feel free to come anyway! We’d love to have you!
