Over the past few years, we've seen and read a great deal about AI that has been very "pro-technology." We wanted a counterweight to that optimism - and who better than the anti-technology "unabomber"? The idea that technology leads to alienation, deskilling, and lack of human flourishing is one that requires exploration. Other themes include domestic terrorism, political violence, etc. along with broader ethical questions like "Should we even read books by terrorists?" We're looking forward to a broad and lively conversation.
