Today Ola Larsmo will be giving a lecture based on his book â??404 Utflykter i glömskans landskapâ?? (Almost translates into â??404 Excursions into the landscape of forgetfulnessâ?? â?? sounds a lot better in Swedish). The book is an excellent book on the role of technology in democratic society. It is written by Ola together with Lars Ilshammar. Besides being in Swedish (which means that it has a limited readership) my only complaint is that the book is somewhat fragmentary. Excellent book.
The lecture today is on file-sharing and information exchange from a historic perspective. This is not a tecchie lecture so it will not be about the technical growth of the Internet. The author (actually there is a rumour that both authors may be in town) are astute social commentators so the focus will be on the social effects.
For more info
The lecture will be followed by a discussion.
