Margaret Atwood: Practical Utopias – An Exploration of the Possible

10th August 3:15 PM 5:15 PM BST

As part of our Future Tense series, and in partnership with Future Library, we are thrilled to present Margaret Atwood, appearing remotely, illuminating a concept that has gripped her extraordinary imagination of late, and offering a way forward from the most intractable challenges of our time – Practical Utopias. Can we reset the relationship between people and planet by bringing a new way of thinking to some of our most fundamental and pressing questions: what kind of homes should we live in? What should we eat? How can we share space on this planet together? Chaired by Naomi Alderman.

There will be no signing after this event as Margaret Atwood is appearing remotely.
