for an exploration of her new work, *Pigs*, and consider how a circular
economy could prevent Stoberock’s unsettling allegory from becoming
reality. Stoberock’s new novel examines the human and systemic consequences
of our current take-make-waste system, revealing the often overlooked and
unforeseen costs to the planet, economies and, especially, people.

Following this special presentation, the author will join a panel of
sustainability experts from ASU, industry and community development to
discuss the unanticipated effects of our real-world linear waste system on
people and communities, assessing current trends and innovations for a
circular economy to reuse and regenerate our world’s resources.

Four children live on an island that serves as the repository for all the
world’s garbage. Trash arrives, the children sort it, and then they feed it
to a herd of insatiable pigs: a perfect system. But when a barrel washes
ashore with a boy inside, the children must decide whether he is more of
the world’s detritus, meant to be fed to the pigs, or whether he is one of
them. Written in exquisitely wrought prose, *Pigs* asks questions about
community, environmental responsibility, and the possibility of innocence.
