Mary Ann’s Book Club: Stand Out of Our Light
A book club switching between fiction and non-fiction.
Monday, September 29, 2025
7:00pm to 8:30pm
Tickets $0-$10
On the last Monday of the month, Company member Mary Ann is hosting a book club!
This Month we’re reading Stand Out of Our Light by Dr. James Williams.
Dr James Williams urges readers to recognize that in today’s digital “attention economy,” our scarce attention is systematically hijacked by technology, undermining our ability to focus on what truly matters, both individually and collectively. Williams combines his insider experience as a former Google strategist with philosophical insight to reveal how distraction has become a political and moral issue—and invites us to reclaim our freedom of attention.
Snacks and drinks will be provided to fuel our conversation.
