About
Civic Tech Book Club is a virtual book club that hosts pop-up discussions on readings on civics and technology. Founded in 2015 by Rebecca Ackerman, Forest Gregg, and Rebecca Williams, the club began as a way for friends living far apart to share ideas. Since the pandemic, it has taken on new energy and meets more often.
Membership generally leans more “civics” than “technology” and grows mainly by word of mouth, though anyone is welcome. Discussions are small and informal, with members joining virtually at their convenience and, on occasion, authors themselves joining the conversation.
This website serves as an archive of past readings for the group’s organization and for others who may find them useful. You can also browse past reading selections and recommended reading on our Civic Tech Book Club Reading List on Bookshop.org or, for titles not available on Bookshop, see our Reading List.
