Join WIRED@Night for an Uncanny Valley Live Recording on Women, Tech, and Power
An evening of podcasting in San Francisco (with a discount for WIRED readers).
In a word: shaky. This fall, WIRED is making a special issue devoted to gender and power. For the live-audience recording of the Uncanny Valley podcast in San Francisco, WIRED will dig further into the fascinating and nuanced state of affairs. First up: a special conversation between Paulina Borsook, tech journalist and former WIRED writer, and WIRED global editorial director Katie Drummond. Borsook, whose prescient 2000 book Cyberselfish is being rereleased this fall, has long been a skeptic of the tech world—which might have been to her detriment during the growth mindset of the past few decades. Come for a lively conversation about WIRED, then and now, and what Borsook thinks of the current trillionaire class. Then, the podcast panel, featuring executive editor Brian Barrett and contributing editor Zoë Schiffer, will bring on WIRED senior correspondent Lauren Goode to talk about her quest to find the most powerful woman in Silicon Valley. EVENT INFO WIRED's Uncanny Valley, featuring Cyberselfish author Paulina Borsook. Copresented with KQED. Thursday, October 8 | 7 pm (Doors at 6:30 pm) The Commons at KQED in San Francisco General admission: $25 $15 for WIRED readers. Buy tickets here.
