Book of the month is After the Spike - Population, Progress, and the Case for People by Dean Spears and Michael Geruso.
From Amazon - “Spears and Geruso investigate what depopulation would mean for the climate, for living standards, for equity, for progress, for freedom, for humanity’s general welfare. And what it would mean if, instead, people came together to share the work of caregiving and of building societies where parenting fits better with everything else that people aspire to. With new evidence and sharp insights, Spears and Geruso make a lively and compelling case for stabilizing the population—without sacrificing our dreams of a greener future or reverting to past gender inequities.”
All are invited whether you have read the book or not.
Food and beverages allowed.
