#MKW18 – How can we avoid a dystopian future?
Dystopian fiction has surged in the last decade, but behind its popularity lie anxieties about our real-life future. Join a panel of experts as they investigate our dystopian fears – and how we can progress past them with optimism and action. Literature professor Andrew Milner specialises in science fiction, philosopher Dr Karen Jones studies the philosophy of trust, and author and researcher Dr Tim Dunlop takes an optimistic view of artificial intelligence. Together, they’ll help you understand why we’re already living some aspects of dystopia, and how we can make sure the rest stay fictional.
