After receiving requests from books clubs for questions to discuss here’s a list of book club questions that might be helpful. The questions do not contain spoilers.
– Was the ending of the book a happy or unhappy one?
– What do you think the social message of the book is? What aspects of our current society do you recognize in the book?
– Why do you think people are keen on retiring in the Dignitorium? Why don’t they recognise what’s behind it?
– Do you think we will end up in a similar society and if yes, when?
– How do you think people would react today if Dignitoriums were introduced?
– Did you find the book depressing?
– Did you find Sofia a likeable character?
– If you lived in this society would you be a Low, Mid or High Spender?
