At this conference, science fiction writer Bruce Sterling discusses climate change, terrorism and social media. He predicts that by 2050: «The inhabitants of the big cities will be afraid of the sky, because the climate will have been destroyed».
At this meeting, he argues that tech giants like Google, Amazon and Facebook are more fragile than people think and goes as far as to pose the following question to Portugal: If you don't accept one country imposing austerity on another, why do you tolerate the markets having that same power?
Conferences that bring together leading national and international experts on topics ranging from ethics to issues, from women to young people, from social security to ageing, from economics to science and the universe.
