July: The Technological Revolution & its impact on culture and the economy

When: July 28th, 6:00PM
Where: Craft Wine & Beer (22 Martin Street, Reno, NV)
Who: Anyone nerdy enough to click on this event for more info. (I'm hoping for 5 people?)

So let's dive right in!
For our inaugural meetup, we’ll explore the emergence of technologies that have reshaped our political, economic, social, and cultural landscapes. I’m not an expert in these areas, but I’m hoping we’ll attract a few attendees who can offer insights, perspectives, or simply curious questions.

Suggested media to spark conversation:

• Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism - Yanis Varoufakis
• The Coming Wave: Technology, Power, and The Twenty-first Century's Greatest Dilemma - Mustafa Suleyman
• Technology trends in the creative and cultural industries sector: a systematic literature review (link)
• (If you have a related book or article that you would like to include, please post it in the comments!)

How does this group work?
Each month we will select a topic to explore. The meetup will be anchored by a set of recommended readings, podcasts, or other media intended to provide theoretical context and a foundation for discourse. Our aim is to foster intellectual engagement, thoughtful dialogue, and collective learning.
Meetups will be in public spaces (bars) where folks can order beverages if they wish.
