SUMMARY:Local Author Event - Matt Witten
DESCRIPTION:Author Matt Witten: An Evening with the Author of 51%\n\nJoin u
 s at the Stillwater Public Library on Wednesday\, September 30 at 6:00 PM 
 for an evening with author Matt Witten\, who will share his newest novel\,
  51%.\n\nSet just twenty years in the future\, 51% imagines an America whe
 re corporations have taken privatization to its extreme—including owning
  a percentage of the people themselves. When a young immigrant woman who i
 s 51% corporate-owned is murdered\, an NYPD detective and his unlikely par
 tner set out to uncover the truth\, leading them into a dangerous conspira
 cy involving corporate power\, a growing Resistance\, and a powerful artif
 icial intelligence.\n\nPart dystopian thriller\, part crime novel\, 51% is
  a fast-paced story that explores power\, justice\, technology\, corporate
  control\, and what happens when people become commodities. The novel's pr
 emise may be futuristic\, but its questions are surprisingly close to home
 .\n\nWitten brings an especially interesting perspective to the conversati
 on. A novelist\, screenwriter\, playwright\, and television writer\, he ha
 s written for television series including House\, Law &amp\; Order\, Prett
 y Little Liars\, and CSI: Miami. His previous thriller\, The Necklace\, ha
 s been published in multiple languages and optioned for film\, while Kille
 r Story won a Foreword Indie Award for Best Mystery.\n\nThe evening will i
 nclude a conversation with Witten and an engaging discussion facilitated b
 y Nancy Kanizar\, followed by an opportunity for questions.\n\nWednesday\,
  September 30th at 6:00 PM\nStillwater Public Library\n\nWhether you've al
 ready read 51% or are simply curious about the author and the fascinating 
 world he's created\, come join us for an evening of books\, ideas\, and co
 nversation.\n\n[wpforms id="311492" title="true"]
