Renew: Solutions from Science Fiction

How should humanity deal with overpopulation? What can we do to keep our growing world fed? How can and should we use artificial intelligence to help us solve the problems of the future? The answers to these questions and more, may be held in the world of science fiction! Come along to this online, interactive debate-style event to explore the dystopian futures of science fiction classics, Soylent Green and Logan's Run. Set in 2022 and 2274 respectively, both of these science fiction narratives make bold predictions about the problems humanity will face in the future, and propose even bolder ways to address them. What lessons might these fictional societies hold for us and our reality? This is an online event that will be taking place live via Zoom.
