How can we think for ourselves if every aspect of our environment is automatically curated? Who and what will we become if we can manipulate our very biology? How can we orient ourselves to a state of permanent disorientation? It’s a cliché because it’s true: change is the only constant. Technology is transforming our media diets, our love lives, our geopolitics, and even our DNA. Secretive hedge funds warp the economy with their pet algorithms. Governments around the world are locked in self-destructive gridlock. AS WE BARREL into an uncertain future, it feels like everything is spinning out of control. ![]()
