What If Libraries Stored People Instead of Books? | Veronica G. Henry on The People’s Library

This week, Eve Laren sits down with critically-acclaimed author Veronica G. Henry to discuss her latest novel, The People's Library.

Set in a future where human consciousness can be digitally preserved, the novel follows Echo London, a reluctant librarian tasked with curating a revolutionary library filled not with books, but with living digital archives of real people.

If you love speculative fiction that feels both timely and terrifyingly plausible, this episode is for you.

The People's Library is perfect for fans of philosophical sci-fi, dystopian fiction, AI-centered stories, and books that explore humanity, memory, and the future of knowledge.
