I’ll be speaking at The Independent’s How the Light Gets In festival in Hay-on-Wye on Monday, May 30, where I’ll do two events:
1400h: Technology and Anarchy, with Nigel Warburton
With a 3D printer and laptop, does everyone have the tools they need to build a bio-weapon? Novelist and activist Cory Doctorow questions whether we should regulate subversive technology.
1730h: The Return of Revolution with Evegeny Morozov, Alex Callinicos, Dany Cohn-Bendit and Paul Moss
Revolution is back on the agenda and many have claimed the internet has played a crucial role. Are we seeing a means to convert grass-roots protest into powerful political movements or is the internet itself at the mercy of authoritarian intervention?
