Happening now at The Well: a topic where Jon Lebkowsky, Bruce Sterling, and a very smart cast of dozens consider the state of the world as the new year dawns. So far it’s been a wide-ranging, global discussion about crypto, AI, climate change, health and COVID, and more.

The entire topic is world-readable, though non-members can’t post directly but rather need to send questions or comments by email to the hosts. (Most of the Well is only open to members.)

This is the 22nd iteration of this discussion, and earlier versions can also be found among the topics in the Inkwell.vue conference. While you’re there, you might read through our discussion with Ben Tarnoff from last year, or some of the other interesting topics as well. The hosts of the Inkwell.vue conference mostly hold discussions with writers and artists, with invited guests and random Well members chiming in however they wish.
