What we need to do now for a future worth living on the Earth?

The Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari became world-famous with his book “A Brief History of Mankind”. His new work “Nexus” is about the future, and the danger of soon being destroyed by the very information networks on which present-day society relies. Is “degrowth”, as the Japanese philosopher and capitalism critic Kohei Saito demands, the only way to attain a future worth living? A short discussion on the really big questions.

This event is organised in cooperation with Süddeutsche Zeitung and Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt am Main.

Wednesday, 16 October 2024, 7.30 pm to 9.00 pm, doors open at 6.30 pm. Admission price is €28, reduced tickets are €15 (for students and pupils), plus booking fees. Venue: Messe Frankfurt Congress Centre, Room Harmonie.
