The reading, free and open to the public, will be followed by a book signing with the author.
His debut novel “The Great Transition” was voted Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Novels 2023 by The Washington Post and earned a Goodreads choice award nomination. In it Googins investigates a post-climate-crisis future in which the resiliency and heavy lifting of a few stakeholders in the past have crafted an unstable Utopia of the future.
