Event Info

 

The present is a contest between the bright and dark sides of discovery. To avoid being torn apart by its stresses, we need to recognize the fact and gain courage and wisdom from the past. Through the lens of his new book, Age of Discovery, Chris Kutarna shows how to make sense of the many shocks that define the age we live in: from Brexit (which he publicly predicted in the British media) to the 2016 US presidential race to climate change and international terrorism.

 

These problems are not new. From the time of the first Renaissance to today, rapid change has always come paired with both a flourishing of creative achievement as well as social division, political extremism and insecurity.

 

Chris Kutarna will be speaking about these topics, and more, in a Daily Discover talk at the Library Outpost, on the 8th September. Drop on by to hear from an acclaimed author, and broaden your perspective about the momentous events of our time.
