Will tech utopias rescue or ruin humanity?

from Doha Debates Podcast · host Doha Debates

Would you live in a futuristic, tech-run city?   Tech leaders from across the globe are racing to build so-called tech utopias, claiming that they’re a new societal blueprint for humanity. But will this approach actually uplift us all or leave most of us behind?  This debate explores whether tech-run cities like Praxis or Próspera truly offer a brighter future for all, or whether they are exclusive enclaves for the elite.  💬 Join the conversation in the comments.  Featuring:  Gökçe Günel: Author and professor of anthropology at Rice University  Titus Gebel: Tech entrepreneur; founder and president of the Free Cities Foundation  Evgeny Morozov: Theorist and publisher of The Syllabus
