Join WIRED@Night for an Uncanny Valley Live Recording on Women, Tech and Power

Join WIRED@Night for a captivating live recording of the Uncanny Valley podcast, featuring a powerful discussion on women, technology, and power. This special event, co-presented with KQED, takes place on Thursday, October 8 at 7 PM (doors open at 6:30 PM) at The Commons at KQED in San Francisco. Tickets are available for $25 general admission or $15 for WIRED readers; subscribers can save $10 per ticket with the discount code "WIRED" at checkout.

The evening's highlights include a thought-provoking conversation between tech journalist Paulina Borsook and WIRED's global editorial director Katie Drummond. Borsook, whose influential 2000 book Cyberselfish is being re-released this fall, brings a unique perspective as a long-time skeptic of the tech world, a stance that may have backfired during recent growth periods. The discussion will delve into WIRED's past and present, as well as Borsook's thoughts on the current trillionaire class.

Following the panel with Borsook and Drummond, WIRED's executive editor Brian Barrett, contributing editor Zoë Schiffer, and senior correspondent Lauren Goode will join to explore the quest to find the most powerful woman in Silicon Valley. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with these experts and uncover the nuances of the intersection between women, technology, and power.
