Friends of the Festival Event

We have a special friends event this spring, Oliver Letwin will be in joined by Howard Davies to talk about his new book Apocalypse How?: Technology and the Threat of Mass Disaster. As the world becomes better connected and we grow ever more dependent on technology, the risks to our infrastructure are multiplying. Whether it’s a hostile state striking the national grid (like Russia did with Ukraine in 2016) or a freak solar storm, our systems have become so interlinked that if one part goes down the rest topple like dominoes.
