THE PUBLIC FORUM

THE LEGACY OF STEVE JOBS
Reckoning With Our Technological Future

Sunday, October 23rd at 7pm

In The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, Mike Daisey explores the way that Apple technology -- and the vision of its leader, Steve Jobs -- have reshaped our lives. In the wake of Steve Jobs' death, the Public Forum will consider the tech legend's legacy: the way that our culture, the construction of our devices, and our relationships with one another have been affected.

Mike Daisey will be joined for this discussion by Robert Krulwich, the science correspondent of NPR and co-host of Radiolab; and Dan Lyons, the technology editor at Newsweek Daily Beast, who created "Fake Steve Jobs," the persona behind the notorious tech blog The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs. The conversation will be hosted by Jeremy McCarter, the director of The Public Forum.
