SUMMARY:Laura Bates
DESCRIPTION:AI-powered technologies are revolutionising our lives and putting women and girls in danger. In her urgent and gripping new book The New Age of Sexism\, Laura Bates delves into our future and finds it wanting. From chatbots to sex robots\, from deep fakes to the metaverse\, Laura examines how existing forms of discrimination\, inequality and harassment are being coded into the very foundations of our future world while a small group of obscenely rich white men prioritise their profits over our lives. \nA bestselling author\, journalist and ground-breaking campaigner\, Laura is the founder of the Everyday Sexism Project. Her books include Everyday Sexism\, Fix the System Not the Women\, Men Who Hate Women\, Misogynation and Girl Up. She is also a contributor at Women Under Siege\, a New-York based organisation working to combat the use of sexual violence as a tool of war in conflict zones worldwide. \nHosted by Helen Mort\, award-winning poet\, novelist and creative writing lecturer. \nPresented by Manchester Literature Festival in partnership with the Centre for New Writing and Creative Manchester. Supported by Library Live. \nTickets: Book here or click on the green ‘Book Now’ button below\, or phone the box office on 0161 876 2015
