Digital Culture in the Age of American Unreason

More and more people are regularly communicating via blogs, Facebook, and Twitter, but what do these exchanges amount to, and are we communicating more about less? Joining us to explore the relationships between digital culture, anti-intellectualism, fundamentalism, and American education is Susan Jacoby, the author of The Age of American Unreason, and Nicholas Carr, a former executive editor of the Harvard Business Review who writes and speaks on technology, business, and culture. His latest book is The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains.

Hammer Forum is moderated by Ian Masters, journalist, author, screenwriter, documentary filmmaker, and host of the radio program Background Briefing, Sundays at 11AM, and The Daily Briefing, Monday through Thursday at 5PM, on KPFK 90.7 FM.

ALL HAMMER PUBLIC PROGRAMS ARE FREE. Tickets are required, and are available at the Billy Wilder Theater Box Office one hour prior to start time. Limit one ticket per person on a first come, first served basis. Hammer members receive priority seating, subject to availability. Reservations not accepted, RSVPs not required.

Easy parking is available under the museum for $3 after 6:00.
