| | BOOKS | Must-Reads from Our Speakers | How do we best navigate the promises and pitfalls of artificial intelligence? What can we learn from America’s past to inform our future? How are relationships and romance changing in the 21st century? What can be done about democratic backsliding around the globe? And what are the ingredients for a meaningful life in the modern world?
These topics and more are highlighted in a bounty of books from our 2023 speakers. We’re proud to showcase their writing in talks and book signings during the Festival, and in the inaugural Ideas Book Club, where attendees will get to join their favorite authors and fellow readers for an intimate conversation and powerful shared reading experience.
