Field notes
The RSVP form collects a name and party size, and the site says that information is for arranging the table with Harborside. The reading list ranges from an account of the Luddites’ targets to Lord Byron, a WGA contract, and a 2026 article about AI-era labor concerns. October’s discussion question is left for participants to choose at the first gathering.
