About this event

Welcome to Reboot, an event series on the future of technology, humanity, and power.

Our guest for Thursday, June 9 is Xiaowei Wang, author of Blockchain Chicken Farm.

Xiaowei Wang is a technologist, artist, and the Creative Director for Logic Magazine. Their upcoming book, Blockchain Chicken Farm, explores how technology is penetrating rural China, from AI-generated pork to disruptive luxury counterfeits. On Thursday, we'll discuss globalization, sinofuturism, and the stories in tech that aren't getting written.
