Created during the Cold War, the Internet has now ushered in one of the greatest shifts in society since the Industrial Revolution. There are many positive ways in which the Internet has contributed to the world, but as a society we are less aware of its deeply negative effects on our psychology, economy, and culture.

In his book “The Internet Is Not the Answer”, Andrew Keen traces the technological and economic history of the internet from its founding in the 1960s through the rise of the big data companies to the increasing attempts to monetise almost every human activity, and investigates how the internet is reconfiguring our world, often at great cost.

Andrew Keen is one of the world’s best known and controversial commentators on the digital revolution. During his keynote, he will debunk some of the enthusiasm surrounding artificial intelligence.
