A week ago today the opening night event at the PEN World Voices festival was a great line-up of authors (including Tom Stoppard, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, and Aminatta Forna) imagining The Future is Now -- an event I was fortunate enough to attend.
You can watch the whole event at that page, but now several of the pieces are also available simply to read at the official site. Great to see -- and Richard Flanagan's On Not Being Bezosed, in particular, is recommended.
