Join Sheri T. Joseph, author of the dystopian political thriller Edge of the Known World, for a conversation and book signing.
Edge of the Known World is a speculative fiction adventure and love story about family, genetic privacy, and the onrushing future of surveillance technology.
Hear author Sheri T. Joseph discuss her novel (a USA Today Bestseller and winner of multiple 2024 American Fiction Awards) with her daughter, scientist Jessica Joseph, who Sheri consulted while writing the novel.
Copies of Edge of the Known World will be for sale. It can also be checked out from the library on as a physical book and on Libby (ebook and audio).
“… A riveting novel of the not-far-enough-away future. It’s a future of familiar challenges – displaced people, xenophobia, technologies that threaten individual privacy. Joseph uses three key characters, and their love triangle, to examine the politics – and uses the politics to highlight personal conflicts.” - Locus Magazine
