As we confront the challenges of the 21st century, we’ve been encouraged to think that we can innovate our way out of anything, or that coding and technology are the answers. But what if the most important tools for our time are human skills like compassion, creativity and collaboration? To protect our own futures, it’s time to stop relying on technology to save us and focus on the things that make us truly human. Jane Caro is a Walkley Award winning Australian columnist, author, novelist, broadcaster, documentary maker, feminist and social commentator. Osher Günsberg is a television and radio presenter and journalist. Yasmin Poole seeks to challenge policymakers to think differently. She is Plan International’s National Ambassador, advocating for young women to be heard in Australian politics. Kevin Roose is an award-winning technology columnist for The New York Times and examines the intersection of tech, business, culture, and the combined effect they have on society. Alok Vaid-Menon is an internationally acclaimed writer, comedian, poet, and public speaker whose work explores themes of trauma, belonging, and the human condition.
