====== Reading Group ======

This page exists to track dates, suggestions, and past topics for our reading group. The reading group is open to both hackerspace members and the general public - if you think you might be interested in discussing our current read, you're welcome to join in!

==== Organisation ====

Meetings of the reading group are held **at 7 pm on the first Monday of each month.**

** The next meeting of the reading group will be: ** //Monday the 2nd of February//

** We are currently reading: ** [[https://thisisforeveryone.timbl.com/|This Is For Everyone - Tim Berners-Lee]] - in principle the first few chapters, but feel free to investigate chapters that take your interest!

Reading group topics are voted on in our [[https://discord.gg/b9h36uyssD|discord server]]. We welcome a range of suggested reading material, on technical, social, and political topics. Members should feel free to directly update the suggested reads list below. Those without wiki editing permissions are encouraged to suggest topics in the reading group channel on the discord server.
