About this Event
The Culture and Technology Book club brings readers together once a month to discuss new and classic texts that raise important questions about the way technology transforms our cultural and political lives.
This month we read Josh O’Kane’s “Sideways: The City Google Couldn’t Buy”
Globe and Mail technology reporter Josh O'Kane's Sideways : the city Google couldn't buy covers the events and controversies surrounding Sidewalk Labs' interest in the the purchase of a small parcel of land in Toronto. What followed was a battle between privacy rights and big business interests, resulting in a landmark outcome for Toronto.
