Sibylle Anderl – A Comfortable New World
Against Comfort: Why We Need Effort to Remain Human.
The technologies of the modern world are making our lives increasingly easier: many tasks can be solved quickly using artificial intelligence, and machines are taking the physical labour off our hands. But should we really rely on them for everything? In a blend of technology critique, philosophy and real-life examples, Sibylle Anderl encourages us to persevere through effort. In *Brave New World of Comfort* (Piper 2026), the award-winning science journalist, astrophysicist and philosopher shows what we gain when we challenge ourselves.
Presented by: Martin Meyer
In cooperation with the Swiss Institute for International Affairs (SIAF)
