Hum

Hum

by Helen Phillips

Once you pick this up, you won’t put it down. With timely themes of technology, surveillance, and climate change, there’s a certain dystopian feel to the story. What grounds the story, though, is the Webb family. How much pressure can a family withstand? Can they trust the technology meant to “help” them? Hum is both a timely warning and a timeless story of family, marriage, and motherhood.
