DA Australia and New Zealand Virtual Book Club
Please join us for the next DA Australia and New Zealand Book Club Meeting on Saturday 31 January 2026 at noon Sydney time (check for your local time at https://timee.io/).
Thanks for your input on the book for the January meeting, which is: What We Can Know, by Ian McEwan.
What We Can Know is the 18th novel by author Ian McEwan, published in 2025 by Jonathan Cape. The novel is set almost a century in the future, in 2119, in a UK partially submerged by rising seas, and is centered on Tom Metcalfe, an academic at the fictional University of the South Downs, who is investigating a lost poem, read aloud at a party in 2014.
McEwan has described the book as a work of science fiction "without the science." In the book, people in 2119 call the first half of the 21st century "the Derangement" because everyone knew about climate change but failed to act.
