Vauhini Vara was already an award-winning technology reporter when she released her debut novel, The Immortal King Rao, to widespread acclaim. Moving from rural India to the explosion in the computing sector in the second half of the 20th century to a startling vision of our near future, in which big data and algorithms have swallowed up the old political structures without solving our ongoing political problems, Vara has orchestrated an incisive and moving exploration of our most pressing issues, and what they might mean for the future of humanity. Vara will be joined in conversation by Fairfield professor and National Book Award-winning author Phil Klay.
