Technology’s impact on us, the planet and future generations is a dense (but important) subject. Hear from top experts in this field — Michael Hawley, Nathaniel Raymond and Ethan Zuckerman — on Monday, October 16th at Café ArtScience in Kendall Square. The talk begins at 6:00pm with 20 minutes for each speaker and a follow-up Q & A.

Your fellow thinkers may turn into fellow drinkers if you stay afterward at the bar for more conversation. Sometimes political but nonetheless paramount, learn more about information gatekeepers, algorithms and the role of government regulation. Cost is $15 in advance, $20 at the door and free for students (with ID). RSVP here.
