16.01.2022 ‘Greenwood’ by Michael Christie is set in the not-too-distant future, but also in the not-so-remote past. Like all good future visions, it is an indictment of our present. A modern classic that carries a warning against our current destructive path. #2020readingchallenge #booksetinthefuture #WCLibraries Find in the catalogue:... https://wollongong.spydus.com//W/BIBENQ/3428171/32086054,6 See more
