The Closing Plenary of the 2018 Conference was as realistic as it was hopeful, drawing the audience’s attention to the fork in the road we face in this pivotal moment in history. Down one path awaits a “technological apocalypse” of automation, mass production and insular impulses that together drive individuals and societies to turn inward and “close the city gates” to outsiders.
