James Glattfelder studies complexity: how an interconnected system -- say, a swarm of birds -- is more than the sum of its parts. And complexity theory, it turns out, can reveal a lot about how the economy works. Glattfelder shares a groundbreaking study of how control flows through the global economy, and how concentration of power in the hands of a shockingly small number leaves us all vulnerable.

The electro-type, the Electro Sapien, will expand conscious access to brain realism, merge — through miraculous data crunching — our insipid linear perception of reality with actual multidimensional reality. He will abstract linear thinking, see and analyse in greater detail the sapient mass of present time. He will feed on vision and memory connectivity stored in all constructs of matter, and harness integration of individual electric signatures with the internet’s electric signature. He won’t fear death, nor personal identity dissolution and insignificance.

Shlain is the founder of the Webby awards and creator of a new documentary, Connected: An Autoblogography about Love, Death & Technology, which premiered this year at Sundance.

Jarvis is a self-described optimist, but he isn’t blind. Radically new technologies, he recognizes, raise important legal and ethical issues that need to be addressed – the protection of privacy, for example. But we should be most skeptical, he urges, of our own tendency to fear the new rather than seizing it creatively to amplify the best in ourselves.
