What happens when reality collides with fiction, and reason gives way to magical thinking? In this thought-provoking talk, François Cusset explores the rise of Elon Musk as a cultural and political phenomenon, reimagined through the lens of a medieval fairy tale.
Drawing on his latest book, Cusset examines the forces shaping our time: neofeudalism, the transformation of technorationalism into magical thinking, and the unprecedented role of social media and the metaverse in turning fantasy into a substitute for reality.
Join us for a critical and imaginative journey into the myths and narratives that define our digital age.
