SUMMARY:Public Lecture – Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff: 'Muskism': The 
 World According to Elon Musk
DESCRIPTION:\nMarch 13\, 20:30-22.00Utrecht Neude Library\n\n\n\nHistorian 
 Quinn Slobodian and writer Ben Tarnoff on Elon Musk as the ultimate symbol
  of our time.\n\n\n\nWho is Elon Musk? A genius? A pest? A visionary\, or 
 a villain? Everyone has an opinion about the eccentric tech billionaire. M
 edia often focus on his personality to understand his actions and statemen
 ts. But according to historian Quinn Slobodian (Boston University) and a
 uthor Ben Tarnoff\, Musk is so much more than an individual. He embodies 
 a new political and economic era\, where power is increasingly concentrate
 d in the hands of tech companies. In their new book\,  Muskism: A Guide 
 for the Perplexed\, they explore the forces that shaped Musk\, from South 
 Africa to Silicon Valley\, Space X to DOGE. What awaits when the world’s
  richest man calls the shots? How will our growing reliance on Musk’s te
 chnologies change our lives and our societies?\n\n\n\nThis programme is a 
 collaboration with the Visions for the Future research project (UU) and Ut
 recht Library.\n\n\n\nThe event is free of charge but registration is requ
