Manchester, it's time to unleash your inner rebel reader and join the city's most dynamic book club! We're excited to bring Rebel Book Club to your doorstep.
What can you expect when you join RBC Manchester? We dive into real-world topics that shape our lives; from AI to migration, love to climate change, our books will spark your imagination and prompt thought-provoking discussions with like-minded people.
Whether you're a seasoned bookworm or new to non-fiction, our gatherings provide a welcoming space to explore, connect, and grow with fellow curious Mancunians. We meet at unique venues across Manchester on the last calendar Tuesday of every month.
Omar is the founder of an AI startup and also pursuing a PhD in Behavioural AI. One big reason Omar joined RBC is to get away from academic literature, gain knowledge in areas outside of his interests and to have engaging conversations with the awesome community.
There is a clear alliance with the philosophy and taste of RBC as Omar has already read 70% of the books from the Rebel Book Club library!
Omar's non-fiction recommendations:
1. “Lost Connections” by Johann Hari
2. "I Refuse to Condemn” by Asim Qureshi.
3. "The Silent Deep” by James Jinks and Peter Hennessy
Join up yourself or gift. Choose a membership to fit your learning goals & lifestyle. Go at your pace.
Every month members vote on a hotlist of 3 nonfiction books on a topic. We nudge you weekly to read, listen or watch & join the discussion.*
*You don't have to read a book every month with us.
You will be invited to our monthly in-person & digital events (not another zoom room). Plus rebel coffees, learning goals support & shared interest groups.
