Chicago, IL, September 9, 2026 —

The highly anticipated 2026 selection for the city-wide reading initiative, One Book, One Chicago, has been announced. This year, the program has chosen the space novel ‘Orbital’ to be its featured book.

The One Book, One Chicago program, a civic and cultural initiative, aims to bring together residents of Chicago and the surrounding communities through the shared experience of reading a single book. Each year, a committee selects a title that is intended to spark dialogue, encourage literacy, and foster a deeper understanding of diverse perspectives and timely issues.

‘Orbital’ will be the focus of numerous public discussions, author events, and educational programs throughout 2026. Details regarding specific events, participating libraries, and community partners are expected to be released by the program organizers in the coming months. The specific author of ‘Orbital’ was not provided in the available information.

The selection of a science fiction novel for the 2026 program marks a significant moment for the initiative, broadening the scope of literary genres explored. Historically, the program has featured a range of fiction and non-fiction works. The goal is to encourage widespread reading and engagement with the chosen text across various demographics and age groups within the city.

Further information on how the public can participate in or access ‘Orbital’ will be made available by the One Book, One Chicago program administrators as the 2026 program year approaches. The exact publication date of the novel ‘Orbital’ was not specified.
