We know we live in a world dominated by technology, big data, and predictive algorithms that few understand and even fewer design or control. Contemporary secular ethics has litte to say about our lack of agency, understanding or the collective and individual responsibilities we bear for the consequences of our modern world. Is Christianity and its life-affirming purposes simply mute about all of this, as if there's nothing for us to see or to consider about present or future conditions? Join us as we engage invited Catholic University of America Professor Paul Scherz on the most significant topic of his latest book. Tomorrow's Troubles: Risk, Anxiety, and Prudence in an Age of Algorithmic Governance.
