If you are looking for 鈥渕ore diverse views of the future,鈥 venture capitalist Brad Feld once said, look to science fiction.听As we grapple with a challenging present, looking for guidance from science fiction and history promises valuable insight into the changes taking root in our politics, economy, and culture.听In this discussion with Brad Feld, science fiction author Blake Crouch, Congressman Joe Neguse representing Colorado鈥檚 2nd District in the U.S. House of Representatives, and historian Patty Limerick, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser听will moderate an examination of the arc of the next fifty years and how it will be shaped by the lessons in history and by changes in politics, technology, and culture.听In so doing, they will pay attention to how people are receiving and processing information as well as how our economy is changing in ways that will shape how people earn a living, where they live and work, and how they interact with others.
The John and Katherine Rosenbloom Lectureship Series was established in 2016 to support engaging interdisciplinary, relevant, and thoughtful discussions on important issues in honor of former Colorado Law Dean Phil Weiser and the lectures he implemented during his deanship.听Presented in partnership with the University of听Colorado Law听School听and the University of Colorado Boulder听Conference on World Affairs.
