A midweek evening on the second Wednesday every month in Old Amersham, a thoughtful book, a glass of prosecco, and easy conversation around the table at UNDICI. So, put 11 November in your diary.
Midweek plans, sorted.
There’s something really lovely happening on the second Wednesday of every month at 7 pm at our Italian wine bar and bookshop in Old Amersham, and if you’re into good books and even better wine, this one’s worth knowing about.
At UNDICI, their monthly Book Club brings together a small group of people for a relaxed evening of conversation, stories, and a glass of something nice in hand.
In November we’ll be discussing The Dream Hotel by Laila Lalami — a gripping, thought-provoking novel set in a near future where technology can predict our behaviour, privacy is becoming a luxury, and even our dreams are no longer our own.
When Sara returns home from a business trip, she’s unexpectedly detained at the airport. An algorithm analysing her dreams has identified her as a potential threat to her husband — for a crime she hasn’t committed. Sent to a detention facility for what should be just 21 days, Sara soon discovers that proving her innocence is far more complicated than she imagined.
Unsettling, imaginative and frighteningly relevant, The Dream Hotel explores freedom, surveillance, artificial intelligence and the increasingly blurred line between security and personal liberty.
It’s a novel that raises fascinating questions: How much privacy are we willing to sacrifice for safety? Can technology really predict human behaviour? And what happens when an algorithm knows more about us than we know about ourselves?
Exactly the kind of book that promises a lively discussion around the table.
No pressure, no formalities. Just a table, a book, and a really easy, welcoming atmosphere, whether it’s your first time or you’ve been before.
Tickets: £12.5 per person
Includes a glass of Prosecco on arrival.
Additional wines and books will be available to purchase on the night.
Spaces are limited, and booking is recommended.
If you love books, conversation and a great atmosphere, this could be your new favourite monthly ritual in Old Amersham.
