The Book Interrupted members give their final thoughts about the book and continue in the group discussion. The women discuss The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, turning books into movies, dangers of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ask the questions: can you have luxury without suffering and is ‘world peace’ possible? Finally, do they recommend the book?
