About this Event
Welcome to the RBC Oxford event, where we'll be diving into April's theme, FUTURES, through this month's read, , by Yuval Noah Harari.
“Tremendous, thought-provoking and well reasoned. Harari gives us a vision of a rapidly approaching future that is both thrilling and chilling. If there is one book I would urge everyone to read - our political, corporate, cultural leaders especially, it is Nexus” - Stephen Fry
Inspired by our monthly non-fiction reads, our mix of part cocktail party, part creative classroom is a recipe that builds your reading habit while connecting with like minded people.
Delicious drinks are included, as well as engaging storytelling and space for conversations and sharing your own journeys across countries and continents.

Your hosts for the evening
Katie
I’m Katie, Canadian-Brit, and I work as an English tutor, editor and blogger in Oxford.
I’m a language enthusiast and love to read nonfiction so I’m always learning about new ideas and fields of study. After years of reading and teaching English literature, I’ve recently rediscovered contemporary fiction, and I’m loving that too.
We hold the Oxford RBC meetings at my husband’s pub, which is handy as we live above it with our husky, Maple.
Phil
Hi, I'm Phil and I co-host the RBC Oxford meetups with Katie. I've been with RBC for over three years now and love exploring the different theme each month.
As well as reading I enjoy running and swimming but music is my main passion. The Oxford group is welcoming and the discussions are always engaging.
