What’s in your diary for the 14th November?

Sinking into a binge session on Netflix? Losing yourself in a clandestine scroll of Facebook? Another swiping spree on Tinder?

Or, will you escape these nihilistic habits and chill instead at Libreria for an evening with Philosophy & Ethics Professor, Nolen Gertz, in conversation with technologist, designer and author, Adam Greenfield to discuss Nihilism & Technology.

From escaping reality, herd networking and pleasure economics to the deification of purportedly omniscient algorithms, Nihilism & Technology, examines technology today and the nihilistic behaviours that it cultivates. We hope you can join the discussion as we consider the ethics of tech design in a world pervaded by fears of Big Data and techno-hypnosis.

It is important to us and the speakers that we ensure this event is as accessible to as many people as possible. As such, we can waive the ticket fee for those who cannot afford the cost and would not be able to attend otherwise. Please email Sean McDonagh (smcdonagh@rowman.com) for more information.
