076 - Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich
In episode 76, Gen and Jette discuss their latest book club book, Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich. This dystopian story follows Cedar Hawk Songmaker, a young pregnant woman who finds herself having to hide in a world where pregnancy has become a matter of state security. Evolution is moving backwards and society as we know it is no longer.

\nYou know we love a good dystopia, and Erdrich packs so much into this relatively short book. We had such a good conversation about these characters, the end of the world, and the possibility of never seeing snow again.
