About this event

Continuing on with the theme of utopian thinking, William Morris's *[News From Nowhere](https://www.sfu.ca/~poitras/Morris_News-from=Nowhere.pdf)*[ ](https://www.sfu.ca/~poitras/Morris_News-from=Nowhere.pdf)(1890) is next on my reading list. Morris addresses the importance of craft, community and harmony in society. Given the technological transformations of today, with things like AI impacting different domains of work life, I thought it would be a fun and timely read to engage with. The link to the PDF of his book is here: [https://www.sfu.ca/~poitras/Morris_News-from=Nowhere.pdf](https://www.sfu.ca/~poitras/Morris_News-from=Nowhere.pdf) A youtube audiobook is available here (7 hours in length): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vguhNQFD_38&t=17s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vguhNQFD_38&t=17s) A shorter video description about Morris for those more pressed for time that want to join us but cannot read the book: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiNFoJqOJhs](https://www.youtube
