I'm an avid reader but, as you've suggested, I just can't read another book/essay/podcast on the Orwellian dystopia which is being built around us all; censorship, vaccine mandates, Covid tyranny, Digital ID, CBDC, 24/7 Palantir surveillance... so the thought of amplifying my current PTSD and our present nightmare is more than I can face.

Is there a joyful, hopeful story into which you can recommend we escape?

Current or past literature, I'm not fussy.

And I'd happily join a Zoom Book Club to dive into that book.
