About this Event
We live in a digital world. In the 30 years since we've been online, we've created connections, crossed boundaries and discovered new worlds. We have done things generations before us could never have imagined. But at what cost?
To celebrate the paperback publication of her book Logging Off : The Human Cost of Our Digital World, we'll be joined by Adele Zeynep Walton for a discussion of lived realities and our online vulnerabilities, the big money being mined by social media billionaires, and how to resist the algorithm. Adele will be in conversation with the wonderful Dr Sarah Stein Lubrano, author of Don't Talk About Politics: How to Change 21st-Century Minds.
Adele Zeynep Walton is an award-winning British-Turkish journalist reporting on the human impacts of digital technology and social media. She is also the co-founder of Logging Off Club, a global community bringing people together offline at phone free events to reconnect and promote connection, curiosity and wellness.
Dr Sarah Stein Lubrano holds a PhD from the University of Oxford and a Master’s degree from the University of Cambridge. Her thinking often reaches the public through the Sense and Solidarity Initiative and the Future Narratives Lab. She was previously the Head of Content at The School of Life, tutored in prisons and wrote obituaries. She regularly appears on public radio and a variety of podcasts.
