The Future of Everything: Big audacious ideas for a better world  by Tim Dunlop

We are in the middle of the greatest technological revolution in history. It could give all of us a better quality of life and new, more cooperative ways of living. Or it could further concentrate the world’s wealth in the hands of a few.

Tim Dunlop offers a bold vision for ensuring that we achieve the former. He will discuss ideas for reclaiming common ground, arguing the case for more public ownership of essential assets, more public space, a transparent media system and an education that prepares us for the future.
