        This week’s #ThursdayBooksandBeer is taking me to an all too plausible near future of climate collapse and AI, via Helen Phillips’ new novel Hum (which is what they call the humanoid robots in this society). It’s accompanied by a ‘Resting My Eyes’ Oat Cream IPA, here at the Brunswick Brewroom of WA brewery Rocky Ridge. “But now the forest of her childhood was receding even in her memory. She needed to picture some other forest, not that particular forest, which was gone, burned.” #reading #literature #clifi #craftbeer
