Readings
easy town books
Scenes from book 1, beginning, and book 2, travelling, plus some exclusive previews for book 3, shaping, are available for readings.
It is possible to choose a subject, such as the town ideas, coexisting with nature, the sex talk or the businesses, or to focus on the different countries of book 2, or to focus on a character such as Alice, the initiator of the town project, Jack, the movie star, or Andy, the head programmer for the simulation.
All readings can include discussions and/or a Q&A about the background stories (which can fill an evening all by themselves.)
dot.story

Plus the dot.story celebrated diversity with characters of all sorts of genders and from more than a hundred countries and regions.
Another interesting focus is how environmental issues are intertwined with the ideas for dot.
It is probably best to start a reading with a short introduction into what dot. is about, not unlike the dot.tour.
A reading could have a focus on diversity, on rethinking fashion, on a selection of characters from designers to customers, or on subjects like: racism, child welfare or family.
Views from around the universe

Plus, in some venues it might be possible to accompany the reading with an art installation with an extended version of human, the.
