Join us for a fireside chat with novelist Jane Pek & Chenda Ngak, Head of Communications at Automattic, on how fiction helps us make sense of technology.
Jane is the author of The Verifiers & The Rivals, mystery novels that follow an investigator at a secret agency that checks whether people on dating apps are who they claim to be. Both were named a best mystery of the year by the Washington Post. Through Claudia Lin's investigations, the books dig into online identity, data, & the algorithms that decide who we meet.
The conversation will cover how Jane researches & writes about tech as an outsider, what storytelling shows us about AI that product launches don't, & how writers are thinking about AI in their own work. Stay afterward to connect with technologists, researchers, writers, & creators.
