SUMMARY:Science & Social Justice Salon: "More Everything Forever" with Adam Becker
DESCRIPTION:The Science and Social Justice Salon series aims to build bridges between scientists and humanists interested in critically examining the social and ethical impacts of their work\, and scholars in the humanities already at Princeton who can help them to realize this vision. Join us to build community over drinks and light fare in a relaxed\, casual setting. \nThis Salon will feature Dr. Adam Becker\, author of the forthcoming book More Everything Forever: AI Overlords\, Space Empires\, and Silicon Valley’s Crusade to Control the Fate of Humanity(Link is external)\, in conversation with Professors Allison Carruth (Effron Center & HMEI)\, Catherine Clune-Taylor (Gender and Sexuality Studies) and M.J. Crockett (Psychology & UCHV). \nMore Everything Forever is a “wild and utterly engaging narrative” (Melanie Mitchell) that shows why Silicon Valley’s heartless\, baseless\, and foolish obsessions—with escaping death\, building AI tyrants\, and creating limitless growth—are about oligarchic power\, not preparing for the future. \nBecker is a science journalist with a PhD in astrophysics. He has written for the New York Times\, the BBC\, NPR\, Scientific American\, New Scientist\, Quanta\, and other publications. His first book\, What Is Real?\, was a New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice and was long-listed for the PEN Literary Science Writing Award. He has been a science journalism fellow at the Santa Fe Institute and a science communicator in residence at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing.
