Alumni Book Club: The Shock of the Old
27.03.2025 |
ETH LEE Building - Room E 126 Leonhardstrasse 21 8092 Zürich In our inaugural Alumni Book Club (ABC) last year, we read and discussed the book How Big Things Get Done. We now shift from management to take a closer look at technology, by reading David Edgerton's book The Shock Of The Old: Technology and Global History since 1900. How it works: 1. Order your personal copy of the book (e.g. via Amazon) - 1st or 2nd edition are fine. 2. Finish reading the book at your own pace 3. On Thursday, March 27th, join us for a lively discussion of the book 4. The event will be followed by an Apéro (18:30 onwards) Location: ETH LEE E 126 (Leonhardstrasse 21, 8092 Zürich) Order your copy today and join us for a lively discussion on the importance (and dangers) of putting one's faith in technology - old and new. Questions? Send an email to masmtec.event@alumni.ethz.ch To complement reading the book, you may enjoy a podcast-based conversation around the book with David Edgerton and the host of the Future Thinking podcast, Alexander Schatten. |
