Everything, it seems, it’s on the line right now. Is mRNA technology close to releasing the pandemic, or a subtle virus, a mutation that brings us years of experimentation, shooting, uncertainty, and angst? Can AI free us with new drugs, weapons, and forms of entertainment, or cleverly enslave us in a world where there are no choices that are truly ours? Do we stop the global warming movement or do we just hang on to the back of the flood shelter and powerful air-conditioners? Will the ransom be improved, or will it destroy governments?
While the past decade has been a milestone in technology, the past 18 months have begun to change tectonic in the way we live, work, and communicate. The world is changing again, and RE: WIRED is where we will talk about the big bets that people have to make if things are going well rather than worse.
So join us on November 9 and 10 for a few interesting discussions between professionals, artists, policy makers, and others who are thinking about the consequences of technology for society, economics, sustainability, and, in the future.
What is it?
