Long before we were debating the ethics of Agentic AI or the security of edge systems, The Twilight Zone was exploring these same dilemmas on a black & white screen.
Between 1959 & 1964, the popular show served as a speculative sandbox for the postwar technological boom. It provided a roadmap for both the shining promises & the darker corners of innovation that we are currently navigating in 2026.
It provided early evidence of how humans would eventually interact with complex, connected ecosystems.
Join author & designer Arlen Schumer - the creator of Visions from The Twilight Zone & the new book The Five Themes of The Twilight Zone - as he examines more than a dozen classic episodes that brilliantly anticipated the technological struggles of our own century.
In collaboration with the National Arts Club & its Art & Technology Committee, this is a specialized opportunity to hear directly from an expert whose work sits at the intersection of historical media, hardware deconstruction, & the architectural foundations of our modern tech stack; helping technologists understand how to present & build systems with code, data, & machine logic.
What You Will Learn
- Autonomous Logic: How the series predicted the sensor-heavy ecosystems required for machine decision-making & smart city infrastructure.
- Deconstructed Hardware: Identifying the shift from single-purpose devices to the personal digital ecosystems of wearables & haptics we use today.
- Intelligence as Disruption: Connecting early speculative tech to the current rise of Agentic AI models & industrial automation.
Reserve your spot & arrive early. Space is limited.
