Autumn Leaves will welcome Peter Gelderloos, anarchist activist and author of the new novella Hermetica — under the pen name Alan Lea. Published by Detritus Books, the science fiction debut follows Dase who unravels a universe of total surveillance and parallel worlds.“Hermetica is a rare book, at once readable and thought-provoking. At once a useful metaphor and entertaining. It sits well among the classics of social science fiction but also says something new, tells a story I’ve never read before. Alan Lea is a writer to watch. To put it plainly, this book is really fucking good.” —Margaret Killjoy, author of The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion
The free event will be held upstairs on the bookstore’s mezzanine.
