Action and Impact: Policy at the Speed of Tech

Celebrate the launch of the Aspen Policy Academy with a tech policy event in San Francisco.

Socrates San Francisco – Is technology the new religion?

As our unified social values fragment and organized religion falls to the lowest levels of participation on record, people are seeking meaning. Belief in biohacking and the singularity now resemble tenets of a new faith. Since before the advent of the printing press and the Gutenberg Bible, technology and religion have had a complex and mutually beneficial relationship. While technology in the past augmented religion, join us as we ponder whether technology has itself become a new religion.
