Perfect for deep thinkers and avid readers, our Deep Reads subscription sends three books each season, a total of twelve each year and includes invitations to our gatherings and author conversations.
In addition to our regular reads, this option adds an additional book each season with something profound to say about the opportunities and challenges of this moment.
The subscription will start right away with our current season, which features a selection of books essential to understand where we are and where we're heading:
Citizens by Jon Alexander - a wonderful guide of how to be human in the 21st Century, Jon unpacks the stories that shaped our past, as Subject and Consumer, before articulating how it is the Citizen story that will guide our path to a better future. packed with ideas and inspiring examples, Citizens has become something of an underground hit.
John Vaillant's Fire Weather - a gripping commentary from the frontline of now, Fire Weather tells the story of the firestorm that destroyed the town at the heart of Canada's fossil fuel industry, Fort McMurray. In the process Vaillant examines our relationship with fire, how it has shaped our civilisation and is now threatening it in ways that were previously unthinkable.
Plus our deep read History for Tomorrow by social philosopher and historian Roman Krznaric - a remarkable form of applied history, which looks back with startling clarity at what human beings have done, and can do, when they organise, cooperate and help each other. An amazing piece of synthesis and imagination that can guide us towards a more vibrant future. Packed with radical hope.
This is an annual subscription, which will be delivered in four seasonal shipments, each accompanied with a letter from our founder and invitations to upcoming gatherings.
As a gift subscription, this is a one off payment which will not renew automatically at the end of the year.
The books which follow will differ from the illustrative titles pictured, which includes some past issues.
