EnglishEvgeny Morozov on a boat
Status:
This is a proposed event, we're looking into organizing it
Nederlands:
Because SETUP is exploring the 'black box' this year we decided to invite Evgeny Morozov, writer of the book "The Net Delusion" to talk to us.
Evgeny is a critical voice, known in Holland for his Tegenlicht episode "the end of the internet utopia" in which he questions our 'faith' in technology.
The world that we build around us is a reflection of our hopes and dreams (and fears). It is increasingly governed by software and technologies. For example, Facebook shows us how Mark Zuckerberg sees friendship. How he would categorise friends and life. Likewise, our economy is governed by software that makes a lot of decisions for us.
Software built by nerds..
When our world is being built by nerds, we have to ask the question: how do nerds see the world?
In this conversation with Evgeny we hope to have a critical look at Nerd Ideology. What is it that nerds want?
