In-Person Book Talk – Rewiring Democracy: How AI Will Transform Our Politics, Government, and Citizenship

The Ash Center invites you to an in-person book talk featuring Bruce Schneier and Nathan E. Sanders, co-authors of “Rewiring Democracy: How AI Will Transform Our Politics, Government, and Citizenship” (MIT Press, 2025). The discussion will be moderated by Danielle Allen, James Bryant Conant University Professor and Director of the Allen Lab. 

Computers, the internet, and artificial intelligence continue to reshape our society—but many democratic institutions have yet to adapt. In “Rewiring Democracy,” the authors illuminate both the promises and pitfalls of technology in contemporary democracy. Drawing on real-world examples and innovative projects, Schneier and Sanders propose practical reforms, showing how civic technologists and engaged citizens alike can help remake democracy for the digital age. 

The event will include remarks from the authors, followed by an audience Q&A. A catered lunch will be provided.

This event is co-sponsored by the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University.
