The Candy House
by Jennife r Egan

The Candy House 

Please note time change for tonight's meeting!!  8:00 p.m.

The Candy House follows a number of characters a s they grapple with Bix Bouton’s revolutionary technology, “Own Your U nconscious”—a device that allows people to upload and share their memo ries. Naturally, people disagree on whether a collective consciousness is a good thing. Some of those who despise it become “eluders,” aband oning their online identities even as “counters” try to track their disappe arance. In this spectacular imagination of our near future, Egan explo res the advantages and perils of invasive technologies, and the deep, universal human need for connection. (NPR, Natalie Escobar)

Fict ion, 352 pages, published 2022
