I have the great pleasure of chairing an event with Eli Pariser, author of The Filter Bubble: What the Internet is Hiding From You at the RSA next Thursday. You can bet your bottom dollar I’ll be pressing him about the ways technology can (and cannot) promote serendipity. I’ll also be picking apart the technological determinism of the book’s main argument (hearkening back to the agenda of US legal scholar Cass Sunstein), and why he is opposed to the “Daily Me” that the web can offer, as popularised by MIT Media Lab and One Laptop Per Child founder Nicholas Negroponte.
