From the author:
If you want to get a sense of my approach to thinking and writing about tech and the future, it’s worth reading the About page and Guiding Principles from the ASU Future of Being Human initiative website, as well as the bio below. I passionately believe that we need to create spaces where people can come together to grapple with the complexities of the world we’re creating without fear of being shut down, or marginalized, or shamed, or having their ideas measured against rigid ideologies. Rather, I believe we need to embrace uncertainty, messiness, and the insights that come from having the freedom and permission to talk with each other about the future, no matter who we are or where we come from.
