About the event
Unity Books Wellington has the great pleasure of hosting Canadian author, Cory Doctorow in the shop to chat about his latest novel, Picks & Shovels.
Picks and Shovels is a standalone novel starring Martin Hench – a hard-charging, two-fisted, high-tech forensic accountant – in his very first adventure, in the early 1980s. It’s a story about the Weird PC era, when no one was really certain what shape PCs should be, who should make them, who should buy them, and what they’re for. It features a commercial war between two very different PC companies.
This is a free event, Cory will be taking audience questions and book signing at the event.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Saturday May 3rd, 3pm
