After the Deluge book release with Chris Carlsson this Friday!

Friday, November 5th
After the Deluge
Book Release Celebration and Reading with Chris Carlsson
7 PM
FREE!

A teenage arsonist threatens a partially submerged mid-22nd century San Francisco. As a Public Investigator "tryout" seeks evidence across the utopian city full of canals and veloways, political and social conflicts erupt. When there is no such thing as property, what is crime, and how does a utopian society protect itself from bad behavior? Should scientists be as free as artists to create? What is a "free market" for work without money and commodities?

After the Deluge is a novel by acclaimed author/activist/Critical Mass and Shaping SF founder Chris Carlsson. Carlsson will be reading excerpts from the book and kicking off a discussion about utopia, property, war and terrorism.

"In Carlsson's highly imaginative sci-fi thriller, an alienated teen and an arson investigator reveal the fissures in San Francisco's revolutionary new society. After The Deluge deserves a wide readership for its vivid blueprint of a sustainable direct democracy set among the still-familiar human cultures and neighborhoods-enhanced by greenways and canals-of the City by the Bay."
-Laura Lent, librarian, San Francisco Public Library
