Nick Harkaway's New Dystopian Novel

Midday on WNYC | Jan 15, 2018

Nick Harkaway discusses his fourth novel, Gnomon. In this world, citizens are constantly observed and democracy has reached a pinnacle of “transparency.” Every action is seen, every word is recorded, and the System has access to its citizens' thoughts and memories--all in the name of providing the safest society in history. 

On January 16 at 7:30 PM, Nick Harkaway will be in conversation with Jenn Northington at Greenlight Bookstore (686 Fulton Street, Brooklyn).
